Service Bulletins
Service bulletins covering various subjects are regularly
sent to all General Motors retail facilities.
GM monitors
product performance in the field. When service methods
are found which promote better service on
GM vehicles,
bulletins are created to help the technician perform
better service. Service bulletins may involve any
number of vehicles. Some will describe inexpensive
service; others will describe expensive service. Some
will advise of new or unexpected conditions, and others
may help avoid future costly repairs. Service bulletins
are meant for qualified technicians. In some cases
bulletins refer to service manuals, specialized tools,
equipment and safety procedures necessary to service
the vehicle. Since these bulletins are issued throughout
the model year and beyond, an index is required and
published quarterly
to help identify specific bulletins.
Subscriptions are available.
You can order an index at
the toll-free numbers listed previously, or ask a GM
retailer to see an index or individual bulletin.
Owner Publications
Owner’s manuals, warranty folders and various owner
assistance booklets provide owners with general
operation and maintenance information.
