# REVISION OF THE 1991 WARRANTY AND OWNER'S ASSISTANCE INFO

#### Subject: Revision of the 1991 Warranty and Owner Assistance Information Booklet

#### To: All Saturn Retailers

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is to inform you of new coverage that has been added to Saturn's 1991 vehicle warranty. The additional coverage has been added so that the 1991 Saturn warranty is in agreement with Saturn's application for emission certification with the California Air Resource Board and in accordance with California emissions warranty law. Therefore, this new coverage applies only to vehicles registered in the state of California.

However, this coverage, is also important to Saturn vehicles not registered in California at this time. Saturn designed all 1991 Saturn vehicles to meet the California Emissions Standards. Therefore, should any 1991 Saturn vehicle be registered in the state of California at some future date, and fall within the parameters of the warranty, this new coverage could benefit the vehicle owner.

Saturn will mail each 1991 owner of record a new and revised 1991 Warranty and Owner Assistance Information Booklet. The distribution of the revised 1991 Warranty and Owner Assistance Information Booklet will be accomplished through three separate mailings: one to California owners, one to owners in the other 49 states and one to company owners. The owner letters utilized for this purpose have been attached for your information and to aid you in responding to inquiries that you may receive from customers.

Enclosed are 50 copies of the revised 1991 Warranty and Owner Assistance Information Booklet. For each 1991 Saturn vehicle in your new and used vehicle inventory, please remove the old booklet from the Owner's Handbook and replace it with a new one.

Additional copies of the 1991 Warranty and Owner Assistance Information Booklet (item No. SO5-OOOO1K3-R1191) may be obtained from the Saturn Assistance Center (1-800-828-2112, prompt 3).

The new 1991 Warranty and Owner Assistance Information Booklet and other 1991 consumer information materials should also be retained and displayed in your retail facility until the last new 1991 Saturn in your new car inventory is delivered. THIS IS REQUIRED BY NHTSA AND MAGNUSON-MOSS WARRANTY ACT REGULATIONS (see Article 4.14.2 of your Service Policies and Procedures Manual). If you have any questions about your responsibilities under the law, you should consult with your attorney.

These changes to the 1991 vehicle warranty will be comprehended in Article 1 of the upcoming revision of your Service Policies and Procedures Manual.

December 10, 1991

Dear Saturn Owner,

We are writing to inform you of new coverage that has been added to your vehicle's warranty. The new coverage has been added so that the 1991 Saturn warranty is in agreement with Saturn's application for emission certification with the California Air Resources Board and in accordance with California emissions warranty law. Therefore, this new coverage applies only to vehicles registered in the state of California.

You may be wondering why we are writing to you about new warranty coverage for California registered vehicles when you don't live in California. The answer is simple. We designed all 1991 Saturns to meet the California Emissions Standards ... the toughest in the nation. Most other manufacturers make two versions of the cars they sell, one for California and one for the rest of the nation. Not Saturn. Should you have your 1991 Saturn registered in the state of California at some future date. and your vehicle falls within the parameters of the warranty, this new coverage could benefit you.

Enclosed you'll find a new and revised edition of the 1991 Warranty and Owner Assistance Information Booklet. Because the new warranty booklet looks pretty much the same as the old one, we have outlined the changes below to aid you in identifying this additional warranty coverage:

#### Automatic Transaxle

The automatic transaxle is now covered against defects related to materials or workmanship for a period of 3 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first, for those vehicles registered in the state of California. This information is located in the Warranty Coverage at a Glance section and in the 1991 Saturn Corporation New Car Limited Warranty section under WHAT IS COVERED (pages 6 and 8. respectively).

California 7 Year/70,000 Mile Emission Defect Warranty ------------------------------------------------------

Saturn has expanded the number of components covered against defects related to materials or workmanship for a period of 7 years or 70,000 miles. whichever comes first, to include the following components:

- Intake Manifold - Powertrain Control Module (PCM) - Catalytic Converter - Ignition Module Assembly - Throttle Body Assembly *

* Please note that the Throttle Body Assembly was previously covered for 7 years or 70,000 miles.

These components are listed in the 1991 Warranty and Owner Assistance Information Booklet's 1991 California Emission Control Warranty Statement section under WHAT IS COVERED (page 23) and are denoted by an asterisk. It is important to note that the California 7year/70,OOO mile Emission Defect Warranty is applicable only to those vehicles registered in the state of California.

Please remove your old 1991 Warranty and Owner Assistance Information Booklet from the Owner's Handbook and replace it with the new one enclosed. And again, thank you for choosing Saturn.

The new coverage has been added so that the 1991 Saturn warranty is in agreement with Saturn's application for emission certification with the California Air Resources Board and in accordance with California emissions warranty law. Therefore, this new coverage applies only to vehicles registered in the state of California.

However, this coverage is also important to Saturn vehicles not registered in California at this time. Saturn designed all 1991 Saturn vehicles to meet the California Emissions Standards. Therefore, should any of the 1991 Saturn vehicles in your company's possession be registered in the state of California at some future date, and fall within the parameters of the warranty, this new coverage could benefit you or subsequent owners of your company vehicles.

Enclosed you'll find a new and revised edition of the 1991 Warranty and Owner Assistance Information Booklet for each vehicle that our records indicate are in your company's possession. Each booklet is contained in a separate envelope that is marked with the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of the vehicle for which it is intended. The VIN is placed on the envelope solely to aid you with your records and any type of reconciliation you may wish to perform. It is not necessary to have the specific booklet placed in the exact vehicle which is indicated on the envelope. However, these booklets should only be used for the 1991 Saturn vehicles in your company's possession.

Please remove the old 1991 Warranty and Owner Assistance Information Booklet from the Owner's Handbook and replace it with the new one enclosed.

If you have vehicles that are leased to a third party, or have disposed of vehicles for which you have received a 1991 Warranty and Owner Assistance Information Booklet, please forward the booklet to the appropriate party. Or, you may wish to call the Saturn Assistance Center (1-800-553-6000) with this information and we will correct our records and ensure that the current owner of the vehicle receives a revised booklet.

Thank you for your help and cooperation in this important matter. And again, thank you for choosing Saturn.

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.
