SUBJECT: PRODUCT CAMPAIGN 90C27
PRODUCT CAMPAIGN 90C27 OWNER'S MANUAL REAR SEAT BELT INFORMATION INCORRECT 1989-90 C/K 1500-3500 SERIES EXTENDED CAB TRUCKS
CERTAIN 1989-90 C/K 1500-3500 SERIES EXTENDED CAB TRUCKS WITHIN THE FOLLOWING VIN BREAKPOINTS, CONTAIN INCORRECT INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO PROPERLY ADJUST THE REAR SEAT SHOULDER BELTS. SINCE THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED DO NOT DESCRIBE "PROPER USE" OF THE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY, THEY FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD (FMVSS) 209, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES".

THIS CAMPAIGN INVOLVES APPROXIMATELY 147,500 VEHICLES.
IN ORDER TO COMPLY WITH FMVSS NO. 209, AND REDUCE OWNER INCONVENIENCE, CHEVROLET MOTOR DIVISION WILL MAIL OWNER'S MANUAL INSERTS WITH CORRECT REAR SEAT LAP-SHOULDER BELT INSTRUCTIONS TO OWNERS OF RECORD. THE INFORMATION IN THESE INSERTS REPLACES THE "LAP-SHOULDER BELTS" INFORMATION FOUND ON PAGES 1-9 THROUGH 1-11 OF THE 1989 OWNER'S MANUAL OR PAGES 1-10 THROUGH 1-12 OF THE 1990 OWNER'S MANUAL.
PARTS (OWNER'S MANUAL INSERTS) REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THIS CAMPAIGN HAVE BEEN MAILED DIRECTLY TO OWNERS OF RECORD AND INVOLVED DEALERS (STOCK UNITS) ON A NO CHARGE BASIS.
THESE INSERTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE THROUGH (GMSPO). HOWEVER ALL DEALERS HAVE BEEN MAILED ONE ADDITIONAL 1989 AND ONE ADDITIONAL 1990 OWNER'S MANUAL INSERT WHICH MAY BE COPIED LOCALLY FOR INVOLVED OWNERS, AS REQUIRED, PROVIDED SUCH COPIES ARE CLEAR AND LEGIBLE.
