CAMPAIGN: PRODUCT SAFETY OWNER'S MANUAL MISSING PAGE. Chevrolet Beretta 1990

For 1990-2009 cars

# CAMPAIGN: PRODUCT SAFETY OWNER'S MANUAL MISSING PAGE

#### Model and Year: 1990 CHEVROLET CORSICA AND BERETTA

General Motors has determined that the owner's manuals in certain 1990 Chevrolet Corsica and Beretta model vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies". The owner's manuals for these vehicles were printed with the rear center lap belt information omitted. This information is required by FMVSS No. 209.

In order to comply with FMVSS No. 209, and to reduce owner inconvenience, Chevrolet Motor Division will mail owner's manual inserts containing the rear center lap belt information to the owners of the involved vehicles.

VEHICLES INVOLVED

Involved are certain 1990 Chevrolet Corsicas and Berettas built within the following VIN breakpoints:

YEAR/MODEL PLANT FROM THROUGH ---------- ----- ---- ------- 1990 L Linden LE100001 LE112091

1990 L Wilmington LY100001 LY117772

Involved vehicles have been identified by Vehicle Identification Number Computer Listings. Computer listings contain the complete Vehicle Identification Number, owner name and address data, and are furnished to involved dealers with the campaign bulletin.

These listings may contain owner names and addresses obtained from State Motor Vehicle Registration Records. The use of such motor vehicle registration data for any other purpose is a violation of law in several states. Accordingly, you are urged to limit the use of this listing to the follow-up necessary to complete this campaign. Any dealer not receiving a computer listing with the campaign bulletin has no involved vehicles currently assigned.

OWNER NOTIFICATION

Owners will be notified of this campaign on their vehicles by Chevrolet Motor Division (see copy of owner letter included with this bulletin).

DEALER CAMPAIGN RESPONSIBILITY

Dealers are to service all vehicles subject to this campaign at no charge to owners, regardless of mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership, from this time forward.

Whenever a vehicle subject to this campaign is taken into your new or used vehicle inventory, or it is in your dealership for service in the future, you should take the steps necessary to be sure the campaign correction has been made before reselling or releasing the vehicle.

Owners of vehicles recently sold from your new vehicle inventory are to be contacted by the dealer, and arrangements made to make the required correction according to instructions contained in this bulletin.

This bulletin is notice to you that the new motor vehicles included in this campaign may not comply with the standard identified above. Under Section 108 of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, it is illegal for a dealer to sell a new motor vehicle which the dealer knows does not comply with an applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. As a consequence, if you sell any of these motor vehicles without first performing the campaign correction, your dealership may be subject to a civil penalty up to $1,000 for each such sale.

REASON FOR THIS RECALL

General Motors has determined that the owner's manuals in certain 1990 Chevrolet Corsica and Beretta model vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies". The owner's manuals for these vehicles were printed with the rear center lap belt information omitted. This information is required by FMVSS No. 209.

WHAT WE HAVE DONE

In order to comply with FMVSS No. 209, and to minimize your inconvenience, Chevrolet Motor Division has sent the enclosed supplement for you to insert in your owner's manual.

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO

After you have finished reading the instructions in the supplement, please insert it in your owner's manual between pages 38 and 39.

After you have inserted the supplement or, if you have sold or traded your vehicle, please let us know by completing the enclosed postage paid reply card and returning it to us.

If you are not satisfied with the action we have taken to remedy this noncompliance, you may submit a complaint to the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 400 Seventh Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20590, or call the toll free Auto Safety Hotline 1-800-424-9393 (Washington D.C. residents may call 426-0123).

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.
