Owner Letter

February, 1993


Dear 1993 Pontiac Bonneville Owner, We have discovered a condition that could exist on some 1993 Bonneville model vehicles with aluminum wheels. We are writing to you today with our action to resolve this condition before it might occur on your vehicle.


CUSTOMER SATISFACTION RECALL FOR

Certain 1993 Pontiac Bonneville model vehicles have an incorrect locking wheel lug nut key socket. If a wheel had to be removed from one of these vehicles, the lug nut key socket supplied for the locking wheel lug nut would not fit the nut and the wheel could not be removed.


ACTION

To eliminate this condition, the correct locking wheel lug nut key socket is included with this letter. You may replace it with this socket yourself or ask your Pontiac dealer to do this service. If you choose to have the dealer replace the socket, take this letter, the Owner Reply Card and the socket provided with you to the dealership. This service will be provided at no charge.


REPLACING THE LUG NUT KEY SOCKET YOURSELF

To replace the socket:

1. Locate the socket that came with your vehicle. Usually stored in the instrument panel storage compartment (glove box) or jack storage compartment in the trunk.

2. Remove and discard the incorrect socket and replace it with the correct socket.

The correct part number is 10216447 and part number will be gold in color on the package. Incorrect part is the same part number, but will be blue on the package.

3. After you replace the socket, please let us know by writing the word "completed" across the enclosed postage paid Owner Reply Card, sign, date and return it to us.



CONTACTING YOUR DEALER (OPTIONAL)

As mentioned previously, you also have the option of taking your vehicle to your Pontiac dealer. If you decide to have the socket installed by the dealer and you wish to know how much time is needed to schedule, process and repair your vehicle, please ask your dealer.


PROBLEMS OR QUESTIONS

If you should encounter any problems in receiving the socket or questions about its installation, please contact your dealer or call Pontiac Customer Assistance at 1-800-762-2737.
