Dear Customer:
The satisfaction and safety of all our customers are of prime concern to us. We are therefore contacting all owners of this year’s Meteor to alert them to improvements in the design of one of the car’s features. You may have noticed that the rear seat bells have a tendency to remain locked inside the retractors when the car is parked at a sharp angle, such as on a steep hill. Once the car is passengers are able to put on thier seat belts.
Our engineers have developed new parts for the retractors that significantly reduce this problem. It would be our pleasure to have new retractors installed for you at no charge. Simply bring our Meteor to the nearest Mach dealer and allow twenty-four hours, for installation. Once the improvemnet has been made, we are confident that your car’s seat belts will meet the highest standards for safety.
If you have any question, please contact your local dealer.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed)
Gunnar Widengren
