Owners of vehicles recently sold from your new vehicle inventory are to be contacted by the dealer and arrangements made to make the required
correction according to instructions contained in this bulletin.
In summary, whenever a vehicle subject to this campaign enters your vehicle inventory, or is in your dealership for service in the future, please take the
steps necessary to be sure the campaign correction has been made before selling or releasing the vehicle.
If the name and address of the owner of an involved vehicle was unavailable to GMC Truck Division at the time of campaign initiation, the dealer must
determine the owner's name and address from the dealership sales records. Please provide this information directly on the second copy of the listing next

submitted to the address listed below in the previously supplied yellow campaign envelopes.
