SEAT RECLINER COVER CONTACTS SEAT BELT RETRACTOR
Some owners of 1987 Firebirds GTA may comment on an interference between the seat recliner cover panel and the seat belt retractor on the passenger and/or drivers seat.
To eliminate this condition replace the seat recliner cover with a new cover available through the Parts Department. Part Number, 12391712, passenger side and P/N 12391713, drivers side.
In some cases a small amount of additional clearance may be achieved by loosening the floor pan to adjuster attachments and positioning seat assembly inboard as far as possible.
Use applicable labour operation.
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.
