Service Bulletins Service bulletins covering various subjects are regularly sent toall General Motors retail facilities. GM monitors product performance in the field. When service methods are foundwhich 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 expensiveservice. 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 thesebulletins are issued throughout the model year and beyond, an index is required and published quarterly to help identify specific bulletins. Subscriptions areavailable.
