INCORRECT PAINT CODE INFO. ON SERVICE PARTS LABEL

INCORRECT SERVICE PARTS IDENTIFICATION LABELS

VEHICLES AFFECTED: 1988 "L" CAR -----------------

The service parts identification label on the following cars are incorrect:

VIN Range With Plant Incorrect Labels ----- ---------------- Wilmington 500001 - 563916 (Chevrolet)

900001 - 904205 (Canadian)

On these labels the label incorrectly states the paint code number as WA 8523; whereas, the correct numbers should be WA 8767. The WA numbers are for different tones of metallic black paint.

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.
