The Parts Information section in this bulletin has been revised for U.S. dealers. A new kit containing all the necessary parts has been released. U.S.
dealers are to now order this new kit. Because this new kit is not available in Canada or export countries, Canadian and Export dealers are to continue to
order the individual parts. Please discard all copies of bulletin 08032.
Condition
On certain 2007-2008 model year Chevrolet Impala vehicles equipped with a police package (RPO 9C1/9C3), the rear wheel spindle rods may cause rear
wheel misalignment, resulting in lower tread depth on the inboard side of the rear tire.
Correction
Dealers are to replace the rear wheel spindle rods, align the rear wheels, and if necessary, replace the rear tires (only) that exhibit lower tread depth on
the inboard side. If the tires have already been replaced due to this condition, the customer may request reimbursement for the replacement tires until
July 31, 2009.
