HOOD RELEASE BREAKS AND/OR CABLE BINDS

VEHICLES AFFECTED: 1988-1989 GRAND PRIX

Replace complete release lever and cable assembly to correct the condition.

NOTE: Do not use the lever from the new lever and cable assembly to replace the broken lever in the vehicle. The condition is caused by a "binding" cable that overloads the lever and causes it to fail.

Use most applicable Labour Operation and Time from the Canadian Labour Time Guide.

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.
