TO: ALL PONTIAC DEALERS

Please file this with your campaign bulletin for future references.

February 12, 1992

Dear Pontiac Owner,

In January we sent a letter informing you that:

"General Motors has determined that certain 1991 Pontiac Sunbird and Grand Prix model vehicles fail to comply to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 208, "Occupant Crash Protection." Some of these vehicles have been built with cracked front door shoulder belt guide loops which may not provide front seat occupants proper protection in the event of a vehicle crash."

Due to the fact that your 1991 Sunbird is a convertible you should not have been sent the letter. Your seat belts are not the style being referred to in the letter.

If you have any questions we recommend you contact the Pontiac Assistance Center by calling 1-800-762-2737.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
