What is wrong

These vehicles were shipped with the wrong owner's manual, and, therefore, the correct information regarding safety belt usage is not available to the owner. This does not conform with fmvss no. 209, "seat belt assemblies."

The risk

Unbelted occupants or occupants using safety belts incorrectly are more at risk of injury than those using the safety belt in the correct manner in the event of a sudden stop or accident.

The fix

Owners and oldsmobile dealers are being mailed the correct 1994 oldsmobile bravura owner's manual and will be asked to install it in the instrument panel compartment and remove and discard the incorrect owner's manual.
