Defect Summary:
Certain light duty pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies." One of the two sensors in the driver's and front passenger's seat belt retractors could be inoperative. The seat belt retractors will lock when the belt webbing is extracted during a crash; however, the mechanism that locks the seat belt retractor when the vehicle decelerates quickly, such as heavy braking, may not operate as intended.Consequence Summary: Corrective Summary: Dealers will inspect the seat belt assemblies to determine proper vehicle sensor function. Owner notification is expected to begin during July 2004. Owners should contact Oldsmobile at 1-800-630-6537. |

Defect Summary:
On certain sport utility vehicles, vibration and heat may cause the tail lamp/stop lamp bulb to loosen in its socket. If this occurs, the bulb may flicker and eventually become inoperative.Consequence Summary: The loss of one or both of the tail lamp/stop lamps could reduce the vehicle's visibility to following drivers and fail to warm others that the vehicle is braking and/or is stopped, which could result in a crash.Corrective Summary: Dealers will inspect the tail lamp/stop lamp assemblies, and if necessary, replace them. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign. Owners should contact Oldsmobile at 1-800-630-6537. |
