may be new, remanufactured,
or refurbished.
Remanufactured parts meet Cadillac
approved service part requirements
and are made from previously used
components in a process that involves
disassembly, inspection, cleaning,
update of software and replacement of
parts as appropriate, testing, and
reassembly.
