PRESS RELEASE


IMMEDIATELY, JANUARY --, 1988


DETROIT -- General Motors is making available a special policy of five years or 50,000 miles to cover a temporary reduction in power steering assist on some 4.6 million GM front-wheel drive cars produced between 1982 and 1985.


Some of the vehicles may experience reduced power steering assist upon first starting the car, primarily in cold weather. Once the system warms up -- usually in one or two minutes -- normal power steering assist is restored. The phenomenon does not occur while the vehicle is being driven after warmup.


GM dealers will repair free of charge power steering systems that exhibit the problem for five years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. GM will reimburse owners who in the past paid to have the problem corrected, within the time and mileage limits of the special policy, provided they present proper receipts to their dealer.


Specific models included are as follows:

^ 1982-84 Buick Skyhawk, Skylark and Century; Cadillac Cimarron; Chevrolet Cavalier

Citation and Celebrity; Oldsmobile Firenza, Omega and Cutlass Ciera; and Pontiac

Sunbird, Phoenix and 6000 models.


^ 1985 Buick Electra, Cadillac Deville and Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight models.
