Owner Letter

February, 1993

Dear Pontiac Owner:

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

REASON FOR THIS RECALL

General Motors has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 1991 Pontiac Grand Prix coupe model vehicles. These vehicles exhibit a condition in which the fog lamps, low beam headlamps and high beam headlamps can be operated simultaneously. This condition violates laws in some states which only permit the operation of four (4) white lights at the same time.

Additionally, all three sets of headlamps operating simultaneously may cause the headlamp circuit breaker to become overloaded and "trip" resulting in the loss of headlamp (high and low beam) and fog - lamp operation.

WHAT WE WILL DO

To correct this condition, your Pontiac dealer will install a new fog lamp relay, new circuit breaker and new circuit breaker terminals. The vehicle circuitry will also be modified to prevent the fog lamps and high beam headlamps from operating simultaneously. This service will be performed for you at no charge.

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO

Please contact your Pontiac dealer as soon as possible to arrange an appointment and so the dealer may order the necessary parts for the repair.

Instructions for making this correction have been sent to your dealer and parts are available. The labor time necessary to perform this service correction is approximately 1 hour 10 minutes. Please ask your dealer if you wish to know how much additional time will be needed to schedule and process your vehicle.

Your Pontiac 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 Pontiac Customer Assistance Center by calling: 1-800-762-2737.

After contacting your dealer and the Pontiac Customer Assistance Center, if you are still not satisfied that we have done our best to remedy this condition, without charge and 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 1-800-424-9393 (Washington, DC residents use 366-0123).
