Dealer, Owner Information and Technical Procedure

To prevent the possibility of this occurring, dealers are to inspect the vacuum hose connections at the VRV and reverse the hoses if necessary on all involved vehicles.

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 modification according to instructions contained in this bulletin.

DEALER MATERIAL

If your dealership has vehicles involved in this campaign, you will receive the following items:
^ List of all vehicles involved in this campaign shipped to your dealership.

^ One campaign identification label for each vehicle.

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 the involved dealers with the campaign bulletin. Owner name and address data furnished will enable dealers to follow up with owners involved in this campaign.

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.

OWNER NOTIFICATION

Owners of vehicles involved in this campaign will be notified by Buick Motor Division (see copy of Owner Letter included with this bulletin).

TRANSFER OF VEHICLE

If a vehicle has been transferred or sold to another location, please forward vehicle information for this vehicle to your Buick Zone Office for handling with the proper dealer.

CHANGE OF OWNER INFORMATION

Dealers are to use the Dealer Communication System (D.C.S.) to provide Buick Motor Division with subsequent Buick owner information. By reporting a change of owner name or address of a vehicle in campaign status over the D..C.S., the need to send in a C.V.A.R. form for that vehicle is eliminated. Terminal input instructions are covered in the D.C.S. Manual under Section 9, page 9-J01A and B.

HOSE ASSEMBLY:

TECHNICAL PROCEDURE

1. Open hood, cover fenders, and remove air cleaner.

2. Inspect both vacuum hoses at the VRV connector. The outside hose (passenger side) should be the vacuum source. The inside hose on the connector should go to the Quick Vacuum Response (QVR) valve and then to the transaxle vacuum modulator. Refer to Illustration for proper hose assembly.

3. If the above inspection shows the vacuum hoses to be properly assembled, no further action is required. If the hoses are reversed, remove the vacuum hoses at the connector, reverse their position and reinstall in the connector.
4. Install air cleaner.
5. Install Campaign Identification Label. Each vehicle modified in accordance with the instructions outlined in this service procedure will require a Campaign Identification Label. Each label provides a space to include the campaign number, the five (5) digit dealer code of the dealer performing the campaign service, and the date the vehicle was campaigned. This information may be inserted with a typewriter or ballpoint pen. When installing label, clean the surface of the radiator upper mounting support and apply the campaign label where it is readily visible.

6. Remove fender covers and close hood.
