INCORRECT SEAT BACK CONTROL ALLOWS SEAT
Subject: BACK TO FOLD FORWARD (CORRECT PART NUMBERS)
Models
Affected: 1988 - 1989 GRAND AM
Should comments be received from owners of a 1988 or 1989 Grand Am 4-door sedan model having a front seat that folds forward, as is the case with 2-door coupe seats, it is possible that the 2-door front seat control assembly was installed in the 4-door seat during production.
A new 4-door seat back control assembly can be installed in the seat should the owner wish to have it changed. The following information may be helpful when ordering the correct seat back control assembly from GMSPO. Parts are currently available through GMSPO.
Usage Control Assembly
1988-1989 4 door Passenger: 20718232
Driver: 20718233
1988-1989 2 door Passenger: 16602620
Driver: 16602621
The current edition of the GMSPO catalog INCORRECTLY identifies the usage of part number 16602620 and 16602621 for 2-door and 4-door Grand Am cars. Usage is for 2-doors only. This correction will be made in the next edition of the catalog.
