Dear Buick Owner:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
REASON FOR THE RECALL
General Motors has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in some 1987 Buick Skyhawks equipped with 2.0L (RPO LT2 or LT3, VIN Code K or M) engine. The fuel feed and/or return hose/pipe assemblies could crack or separate allowing fuel to leak into the underhood area. This condition could ultimately result in an underhood fire without prior warning. Such a fire could, in time, spread to the passenger compartment and cause injury to any remaining occupants.
WHAT WE WILL DO
To prevent the possibility of this condition occurring, both the fuel feed and return hose/pipe assemblies will be replaced. This service will be performed for you at no charge.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
Please contact your Buick dealer as soon as possible to arrange a service date. Instructions for this service have been sent to your dealer. It is estimated that parts will be available on or about December 17, 1987. The labor time necessary to perform this service is approximately one (1) hour (thirty five [35] minutes if your vehicle is equipped with a turbo charged engine). Please allow some additional time for your dealer to process your vehicle.
Your Buick dealer is best equipped to obtain parts and provide service to ensure that your vehicle is corrected as promptly as possible. If, however, you take your vehicle to your dealer on the agreed service date and they do not remedy this condition on that date or within five (5) days, we recommend you contact the Customer Assistance Department, Flint Home Office by calling 800-521-7300.
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 Highway 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 identifies your vehicle. Presentation of this card to your dealer will assist in making the necessary 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.
We are sorry to cause you this inconvenience; however, we have taken this action in the interest of your safety and continued satisfaction with our products.
