Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Dealer, Vehicles, Owner and Parts Information

To prevent this condition, dealers are required to inspect, and if necessary, replace push-pull headlight switches on suspect vehicles per the Vehicles Involved and Technical Procedure sections of this bulletin.

VEHICLES INVOLVED

Certain 1986 LeSabre Estate Wagons and Electra Estate Wagons with VIN's from GX412115 through and including GX412990 without Twilight Sentinel Headlamp Control (Option T-82).

DEALER CAMPAIGN RESPONSIBILITY

Dealers are to service all vehicles involved in this campaign, at no charge to owners, regardless of mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership.

Whenever a vehicle subject to this campaign is taken into used car inventory, dealers are to take the steps necessary to be sure the campaign correction has been made before reselling the vehicle.

In addition, dealers are to perform the campaign on all affected vehicles as they are brought in for any kind of service.

DEALER MATERIAL

If your dealership has vehicles involved in this campaign, you will receive the following items:

^ List of all vehicles involved in this campaign shipped to your dealership.

^ One (1) Campaign Identification Label per vehicle involved.

Involved vehicles have been identified by Vehicle Identification Number computer listings. Computer listings contain the complete vehicle identification number, owner name and address data, and are furnished to the involved dealers with the campaign bulletin. Owner name and address data will enable dealers to follow-up with owners involved in this campaign.

These computer listings may contain owner names and addressed obtained from State Motor Vehicle Registration Records. The use of such motor vehicle registration data for any other purpose is a violation of law in several states. Accordingly, you are urged to limit the use of this listing to the follow-up necessary to complete this campaign.

OWNER NOTIFICATION

Owners of vehicles involved in this campaign will be notified by Buick Motor Division (see copy of owner letter included with this bulletin).
CHANGE OF OWNER INFORMATION

Dealers are to use the Dealer Communication System (DCS) to provide Buick Motor Division with subsequent Buick owner information. By reporting a change of owner name or address of a vehicle in campaign status over the DCS, the need to send in a CVAR form for that vehicle is eliminated. Terminal input instructions are covered in the DCS Manual under Section 9, Page 9-J01A and B.
