Bulletin 86-10-7A

Date Jan. '86

Ref. No. 86-043A-10
SUBJECT: SHOULDER BELT RETRACTOR RATTLE

MODELS AFFECTED: 1986 RIVIERA


NOTE: This bulletin supersedes 86-10-7 dated November, 1985 for VIN correction. Please discard original bulletin and replace it with this one.


Some early Riviera shoulder belt retractors built prior to October 10, 1985, may make a minor rattling noise when traveling over rough roads. It is due to rocking of the pendulum within the retractor. The retractor design has been revised to reduce the noise; however, a few early production retractors may cause comments in this area. All field service replacement stock is of the current design. Potential vehicles involved are those within VIN numbers GU400000 to GU400513.
