*Campaign Administrative Allowance.
To assure accurate records of all transactions on this campaign, it is recommended that campaign repairs for each vehicle be listed on a separate repair order. Other repairs performed to the vehicle may be listed on the same repair order, and warranty cases other than campaigns may be listed on the same warranty document.

Warranty documents on this campaign are not to be sent to the Zone Office. Send directly to Buick - Flint, as is done with normal submissions of warranty documents.


Dear Buick Owner:

General Motors has determined that some 1985 Electras equipped with a 4.3L diesel engine may have been assembled with a vacuum hose connection reversed at the vacuum regulator valve. This condition may result in harsh transaxle shifts at light acceleration and soft shifts on heavy acceleration and could cause premature wear of the transaxle clutch lining material.

To prevent this from occurring, please contact your Buick Dealer to arrange a service date to have the vacuum hoses at the vacuum regulator valve inspected for proper connection and correction, if required.

Instructions for making this correction have been sent to your dealer. The time required to correct this condition is about 10 minutes. Please ask your dealer if you wish to know how much additional time will be necessary to process your vehicle.

The enclosed owner reply card identifies your vehicle. Presentation of this card to your dealer will assist you in making the necessary correction in the shortest possible time. If you have sold or traded your vehicle, please let us know by completing the postage paid owner reply card and returning it to us.

We are sorry to cause you this inconvenience; however, we have taken this action in the interest of your continued satisfaction with our products.
