DRIVER SEAT CANNOT BE ADJUSTED HIGH ENOUGH--CORRECTION KIT

SUBJECT: DRIVER'S SEAT CANNOT BE ADJUSTED HIGH ENOUGH (CORRECTION KIT)

MODELS AFFECTED: 1991-1992 DE VILLES AND FLEETWOODS

Some 1991-1992 DeVilles and Fleetwoods may experience a condition where the seat may not have enough upward travel.

To repair this condition use the following procedure:

1. Remove the four hex-head bolts attaching the seat frame to the adjuster. On vehicles with the six-way power seat option, the adjuster must be in the full up position to remove these bolts.

2. Insert spacer from kit, P/N 12520796, between the seat frame and adjuster at all four bolt locations. Refer to Figure 1.

3. Coat threads of the new replacement bolts with thread sealant/adhesive, GM P/N 12345382, and attach the seat frame to the adjuster.

4. Torque the attaching bolts to 22-28 Nm (17 lbs. ft.).

Parts are currently available from GMSPO.

For warranty purposes use Labor Operations T5310 for left and T5311 for right at .8 hour each.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
