TO THE UNITED STATES
GOVERNMENT
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could
cause a crash or could cause injury
or death, you should
immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA), in addition to
notifying General Motors.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open
an
investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in
a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy
campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved
in individual problems between you, your dealer,
or
General Motors.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety
Hotline toll-free at
1-800-424-9393 (or 366-0123 in the
Washington, D.C. area)
or write to:
NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation
Washington, D.C.
20590
You can also obtain other information about motor
vehicle safety from the Hotline.

Motors of Canada Limited. You may write to:

Service manuals contain diagnostic and repair
information for all chassis and body systems. They may
be useful for owners who wish to get a greater
understanding of their vehicle. They are also useful for
owners
with the appropriate skill level or training who
wish
to perform “do-it-yourself’ service. These are
authentic General Motors service manuals meant for
professional, qualified technicians.
Service Bulletins
Service bulletins covering various subjects are regularly
sent to all General Motors dealerships.
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
dealer 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.
