Dear Buick Owner:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
General Motors has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in some 1987 LeSabres and Electras/Park Avenues. These vehicles have in-line fusible links located in the area of the plastic windshield washer bottle bracket. Under a high resistance load, the in-line fusible link may melt down and ignite the windshield washer bottle bracket, resulting in an engine compartment fire without prior warning.
To prevent this condition from occurring on your vehicle, your Buick dealer will replace the windshield washer bottle bracket. This service will be completed at no charge to you. Please contact your Buick dealer to arrange a service date.
Instructions have been sent to your Buick dealer. It is estimated that parts will be available September 21, 1987. The labor time to perform the replacement is approximately 20 minutes. Please ask your dealer if you wish to know how much additional time will be needed to process your vehicle.
Your Buick dealer is best equipped to obtain parts and provide service to ensure your vehicle is corrected as promptly as possible. However, if you take your vehicle to your dealer on the agreed service date, and he does not remedy this condition on that date, or within five days, we recommend you contact the Buick Customer Assistance Department, Flint Home Office by calling 800-521-7300.
After contacting your dealer and the Buick Home Office, if you are still not satisfied that we have done our best to remedy this condition, without charge, within a reasonable time, you may wish to write the Administrator, National Traffic Safety Administration, 400 Seventh Street, S.W. Washington, DC, 20590 or call 800-424-9393 (Washington, DC residents use 426-0123).
The enclosed Owner Reply Card identified your vehicle. Presentation of the card to your dealer will assist in making the correction in the shortest possible time. If you have sold or traded your vehicle, please let us know by completing the postage-paid Owner Reply Card and returning it to us.
