Dear Buick Owners:
General Motors has determined that certain 1983 Buick Centurys equipped with 3.0L Federal/California V-6 engines may be emitting pollutants in excess of Federal/California Emission Standards. The EGR vacuum source hoses located in the emission harness at the EGR solenoid may be plugged and not allowing the EGR valve to operate, resulting in an increase of exhaust emissions.
To correct this condition, your Buick Dealer will inspect these hoses and clear any restrictions, if required. This service will be performed at no charge to you.
Instructions for making this correction have been sent to your Dealer. The labor time to perform this service is approximately ten minutes. Please allow additional time for your dealer to process your vehicle.
The enclosed Owner Reply Card identifies your vehicle. Presentation of this card to your dealer will assist in making the inspection to your vehicle in the shortest possible time. If you have sold or traded your vehicle, please let us know by completing the postage Owner Identification Reply Card and returning it to us so that we may update our records. Should your dealer not schedule a service date within a reasonable time, you should contact your nearest Buick Zone Office either in person or by telephone for assistance. The locations and telephone numbers of zone offices are listed in your Owner's Manual.
If your dealer or General Motors are unable to remedy this condition within a reasonable time, you may wish to advise the Environmental
Protection Agency at the following address: Director, Manufacturers Operation Division (EN-340), United States Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M Street, S.W., Washington D. C. 20460. To ensure your full protection under the emission warranty made applicable to your vehicle by Federal Law, and your right to participate in future recalls, it is recommended that you have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible. Failure to do so could legally be determined to be a lack of proper maintenance of your vehicle.
We are sorry to cause you this inconvenience; however, we have taken this action in the interest of your continued satisfaction with our product.
