Recall 95V-215: 1995–1996 Buick Roadmaster, 1995–1996 Chevrolet Caprice

The problem

These vehicles were shipped with both the supplemental inflatable restraint caution label and a roof rack caution label installed on the same side of the sun visor. This does not meet the requirements of FMVSS no.208, "occupant crash protection."

The risk

Consequence of non-compliance: operators could fail to notice and heed the warning labels.

The fix

A new roof rack caution label, with installation instructions, will be sent directly to owners. Owners will install the label or have their dealer install the label for them.
