1995 BUICK PARK AVENUE Recall

Campaign:: 95V158000 on 08/30/1995
Component:: Exterior lighting:headlights
Manufactured:: 01/31/1995 - 02/28/1995
Affected:: 12,832
Defect:: The driver side headlamp lens has an incorrect aim pad number on the lens. this does not comply with fmvss no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
Consequence:: Consequence of non-compliance: if these head lamps are re-aimed using a mechanical aiming device that utilizes the aiming pad numers, the resultant aim would be out of the specified range. this may cause a visibility problem increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
Correction:: Dealers will replace the driver side headlamp on vehicles with the correct outboard lower pad number.
Notes:: System: lighting; lamp or socket; headlights; fmvss no. 108.vehicle description: passenger vehicles.note: owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time, should contact buick at 1-800-521-7300. also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
