#25532249 - 1989 Warranty and Owner Assistance Information For Buick New Cars

Owner assistance satisfaction procedures, the GM mediation/arbitration program, special policy adjustment programs, and the GM Protection Plan are all outlined in this booklet. A separate tire warranty folder is included to outline warranty as provided by individual tire manufacturers.

The owner's name, address, Vehicle Identification Number, date of delivery and mileage at the time of delivery, are all to be typed on the inside of the front cover of the booklet in the space provided. There is a space provided on the back of the folder for the dealer name, address and dealer code.

It is very important that the Owner and Vehicle Information on the booklet be correct. This information will be the only means of owner identification for repairs covered under warranty. In order for dealer warranty claims to be properly processed, the Vehicle Identification Number must be correct. Owners should be instructed to carry their Warranty and Owner Assistance Information booklets in their vehicles at all times.

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.
