HOOD ORNAMENT THEFT DETERRENT

MODELS AFFECTED: ALL MODELS WITH UPRIGHT SPRING-LOADED HOOD ORNAMENTS

In an effort to reduce the number of hood ornaments lost to theft, a method for prevention is being released. A 12 x 1/2" pan head sheet metal screw, P/N 11508797, may be installed into the bottom of the spring. This method is effective for the most common hood ornament theft cases but cannot prevent theft when wire cutters are used.

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.
