TURBOCHARGER REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE

In order to better understand the conditions which are experienced with the turbochargers in the 1988 2.0 liter turbocharged engine, it is now required that a TAC Case be opened on any vehicle that requires turbocharger replacement.

The TAC Case must be opened prior to any turbocharger replacement and a copy of the TAC form must be attached to the scrapping copy of the repair order.

This policy is effective immediately and will continue until further notice.

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.
