# CAMPAIGN: ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE OR ELEC.BRAKE

#### NOTE: GM OF CANADA CAMPAIGN 97020(A) IS LOCATED BELOW THE U.S. VERSION

PRODUCT SAFETY CAMPAIGN

#### SUBJECT: 97020(A) - ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE OR ELECTRONIC BRAKE AND TRACTION CONTROL MODULE (EBCM/EBTCM)

#### MODELS: 1997 BUICK PARK AVENUE/ULTRA; CADILLAC DEVILLE, DEVILLE CONCOURS, DEVILLE D'ELEGANCE, ELDORADO, ELDORADO TOURING COUPE (ETC), SEVILLE LUXURY SEDAN (SLS), SEVILLE TOURING SEDAN (STS)

THIS BULLETIN CANCELS AND REPLACES BULLETIN 97020 ISSUED MAY, 1997. THE VEHICLES INVOLVED SECTION HAS BEEN EXPANDED AND THE PARTS INFORMATION SECTION HAS BEEN REVISED.

The Highway Safety Act, as amended, provides that each vehicle which is subject to a recall campaign of this type must be adequately repaired within a reasonable time after the customer has tendered it for repair. A failure to repair within sixty (60) days after tender of a vehicle is prima facie evidence of failure to repair within a reasonable time.

If the condition is not adequately repaired within a reasonable time, the customer may be entitled to an identical or reasonably equivalent vehicle at no charge or to a refund of the purchase price less a reasonable allowance for depreciation.

To avoid having to provide these burdensome remedies, every effort must be made to promptly schedule an appointment with each customer and to repair their vehicle as soon as possible. As you will see in reading the attached copy of the divisional letter that is being sent to customers, the customers are being instructed to contact the appropriate Customer Assistance Center if their dealer does not remedy the condition within five (5) days of the mutually agreed upon service date. If the condition is not remedied within a reasonable time, they are instructed on how to contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

DEFECT INVOLVED

General Motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 1997 Buick Park Avenue/Ultra; Cadillac DeVille, DeVille d'Elegance, DeVille Concours, Eldorado, Eldorado Touring Coupe (ETC), Seville Luxury Sedan (SLS), Seville Touring Sedan (STS) model vehicles.

These vehicles may exhibit a condition in which the Electronic Brake Control Module or the Electronic Brake and Traction Control Module (EBCM/EBTCM) may cause the Antilock Brake System (ABS) to cycle during a non-ABS brake application. This may result in an increase in vehicle stopping distance. If this condition were to occur in a situation where stopping distances were minimal, a vehicle crash could occur without prior warning.

To prevent the possibility of this condition occurring, dealers will replace the Electronic Brake Control Module or the Electronic Brake and Traction Control Module.

VEHICLES INVOLVED

Involved are certain 1997 Buick Park Avenue/Ultra; Cadillac DeVille, DeVille d'Elegance, DeVille Concours, Eldorado, Eldorado Touring Coupe (ETC), Seville Luxury Sedan (SLS), Seville Touring Sedan (STS) model vehicles built within the following VIN breakpoints:

November 1997

Dear General Motors Customer:

General Motors of Canada Limited has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 1997 Buick Park Avenue/Ultra; Cadillac DeVille, DeVille d'Elegance, Deville Concours, Eldorado, Eldorado Touring Coupe (ETC), Seville Luxury Sedan (SLS), and Seville Touring Sedan (STS) model vehicles. These vehicles may exhibit a condition in which the Electronic Brake Control Module or the Electronic Brake and Traction Control Module (EBCM/EBTCM) may cause the Antilock Brake System (ABS) to cycle during a non-ABS brake application. This may result in an increase in vehicle stopping distance. If this condition were to occur in a situation where stopping distances were minimal, a vehicle crash could occur without prior warning.

To prevent the possibility of this condition occurring, your GM dealer will replace the Electronic Brake Control Module or the Electronic Brake and Traction Control Module on your vehicle.

This service will be provided for you at no charge.

Please contact your GM dealer as soon as possible to arrange a service date.

If parts are required, ask your dealer for details regarding their availability. If parts are not in stock, they can be ordered before scheduling your service date.

This letter identifies your vehicle. Presentation of this letter to your dealer will assist their Service personnel in completing the necessary correction to your vehicle in the shortest possible time.

We are sorry to cause you this inconvenience; however, we have taken this action in the interest of your continued satisfaction with our products.

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.
