CAMPAIGN: WINDSHIELD REMOVE AND REINSTALL W/S

MODELS: 1987 PONTIAC 6000 AND OLDSMOBILE CIERA

General Motors of Canada has determined that certain 1987 Pontiac 6000 and Olds. Ciera models may not conform to the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 212, "Windshield Mounting."

These vehicles may exhibit poor bond adhesion between the windshield glass and mounting. This could allow the windshield to separate from the vehicle during a 48 kph frontal barrier test required by CMVSS 212. Should windshield separation occur during an accident, an unbelted occupant may be ejected from the vehicle and personal injury could occur.

To correct this condition, Dealers are to remove and reinstall the windshields on all involved vehicles per instructions in this bulletin.

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.
