The service procedure and labor time in this bulletin have been revised because of feedback received from GM dealership service technicians. Discard
all copies of bulletin 06020, issued July 2006.
Due to part availability this Special Policy is being mailed to customers in phases. You will be notified as parts become available and phases are
released.
To minimize customer inconvenience, encourage customers to have their cables replaced rather than returning for annual inspections.
If a customer is concerned that the inspection procedure is not an appropriate way to assure the intended performance of the cables, or is unwilling to
perform the required inspection, dealers are instructed to assist the customer by replacing the galvanized support cables with stain less steel support
cables.

must be submitted using the labor operation codes provided with this bulletin. Claims with repair orders prior to July 21, 2006 must be submitted to the
