The Cadillac Mary Kay High Mileage Product Evaluation Program was designed to provide Cadillac with more comprehensive information on the performance of Cadillac products especially at times and mileages in excess of 12 months or 12,000 miles. The purpose of this program has been to provide Cadillac relevant data in car performance for extended time and mileage to assist in the process of improving long-term quality and customer satisfaction.
Mary Kay i984-1986 vehicles covered by this program have a special pink Mary Kay Cadillac identification card issued to the driver.
Drivers are instructed to present this card to the Dealer Service Advisor whenever service is required. The card directs the Service Advisor to call a toll-free number. Due to the difficulties experienced when using this procedure the toll-free number has been discontinued. Whenever service is required, the vehicle can be checked for eligibility by verifying that option code D83 appears on the option identification label. If there is any question of vehicle eligibility for the Mary Kay program after checking the option identification label for option code D83, contact your zone office.
All normal maintenance and repairs to correct defects in material and workmanship, as well as any required adjustments will be covered by Cadillac on vehicies in this program at no charge to the customer, regardless of vehicle age or mileage in accordance with the attached general, parts return and claims procedures. Vehicle repairs resulting from damage due to accident, alteration or abuse are not covered.
Mary Kay drivers have special pink identification cards containing the vehicle identification number. They are to present this card to the dealer service advisor before any service is to be performed on 1984-1986 vehicles.

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.
