General
Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not
a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of
conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information
that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained
technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how
to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not
assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle
will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your
brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle
may benefit from the information.
