SEAT BACK RATTLE NOISE REPLACE PIVOT BOLT-P/N LISTED

EARLY 1987 FIERO MODELS

Some 1987 Fiero owners may comment on a seat back rattle noise at the seat back locking pivot bolt.

This condition is caused by the use of a long shouldered pivot bolt and a short bushing which allows the seat back latch to slide off the bushing and rattle against the pivot bolt.

To eliminate the rattle, replace the pivot bolt with a new one P/N 20359309 and transfer the bushing to the new bolt.

Use applicable Labor Time.

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.
