This bulletin supersedes bulletin 90-I-7, Group O, which on page 3 incorrectly lists the participants of the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint course (22008.15) as "experienced body and line technicians". The correct SIR course participants are "electrical technicians". Bulletin 90-1-7 should be discarded.

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.
