2. The rear seat cushion and frame are changed, and three sets of seat belts are used in the rear. The rear seat console is cancelled.

3. A larger rear brake cylinder will be used on station wagon models.

4. The vehicle tire pressure label is revised for new load rating.

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.
