Warranty Information
It is vital that the exact part(s) replaced during any warranty repair be returned when requested. These parts must be the specific ones associated with the
repair order requested and must carry the proper date codes for the production run of the vehicle or component. Substitute parts are not acceptable. This
information is used during warranty part reviews and is tracked to determine possible problems with a specific production run. Shown above is an
example of a typical date code found on an engine component.
The more precisely that GM can isolate a production time frame that is causing customer concerns the quicker and more effectively we can target a
solution. For addition information on parts with date codes please refer to GM Corporate Service Bulletin # 06-00-89-054B.
For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table.
