Owner Letter

Dear General Motors Customer:

General Motors of Canada Limited has determined that CERTAIN 1995 Buick LeSabre and Park Avenue/Ultra model vehicles fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108, "Lighting Equipment". These vehicles may have been assembled with a driver side (left) headlamp lens which have an incorrect aim pad number on the lens. If these headlamps are reaimed using a mechanical aiming device that utilizes the aiming pad numbers, the resultant aim would be out of the specified range.

To correct this condition and in order to comply with CMVSS 108, customers/dealers will inspect the outboard lower aim pad number. Your dealers will replace the driver side headlamp on vehicles with the incorrect outboard lower pad number. This service will be provided to you at no charge.

1. Look at the driver side headlamp lens. There are three (3) aiming pads (raised glass nubs) on the lens. Look at the lower outboard pad, imprinted above the pad is a number (see figure).

^ If the number is 11, the headlamp does not need replacing.

^ If any other number is present, please make an appointment with your GM dealer to have the headlamp replaced.

2. If your headlamp does not need replacing, please contact our Customer Communication Center at 1-800-263-3777 (English) or 1-800-263-7854 (French). This will allow us to remove your vehicle from further campaign follow-up communications.

If parts are required, ask your dealer for details regarding their availability. If parts are not in stock, they can be ordered before scheduling your service date.

This letter identifies your vehicle. Presentation of this letter to your dealer will assist their Service personnel in completing the necessary correction to your vehicle in the shortest possible time.

We are sorry to cause you this inconvenience; however, we have taken this action in the interest of your continued satisfaction with our products.
