IMPORTANT CAMPAIGN INFORMATION DELIVER IMMEDIATELY
General Motors has determined that certain 1992 Buick Roadmaster Sedan model vehicles built at the Arlington Assembly Plant may have been shipped without having the four (4) tie rod adjusting sleeve clamp bolts/nuts tightened. This condition could result in uneven tire wear.
To correct this condition, dealers are to inspect tie rod clamps for looseness on involved vehicles. Vehicles with tie rod clamp(s) loose will have a toe-in adjustment performed and the tie rod assemblies replaced.
