FULL WHEEL COVER RATTLES

VEHICLES AFFECTED: 1986-87 "R" CAR EXCEPT 'TURBO' -----------------

Some of the subject vehicles that are equipped with full wheel covers may experience a rattle noise from one or more wheels.

The cause of this condition is a looseness in the fit of the wheel cover retaining ring to the wheel cover.

A new retaining ring has been released through GMSPO which can be used to replace the original retaining ring on the wheel cover.

The following part number should be ordered from GMSPO as appropriate for the model year of the vehicle.

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.
