TEVES ANTI-LOCK BRAKE PARTS RETURN PROGRAM

MODELS/YEARS 1986-90 NINETY-EIGHT, EIGHTY-EIGHT AND TORONADO MODELS EQUIPPED WITH TEVES ANTI-LOCK BRAKE (ABS) SYSTEM

This bulletin cancels and replaces Dealer Management Bulletin 89-I-10A. This bulletin has been revised to include the 1990 model year.

Effective immediately, it is requested that all Teves Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) parts, replaced for any reason, be returned to Teves for analysis. This request is being made so that General Motors and its suppliers can provide our customers with the best quality possible.

This request includes vehicles from 1986 through 1990 equipped with Teves ABS brake systems and is in effect until August 31, 1990.

This request for the return of parts in no way implies that repairs or part replacements will be covered under warranty beyond the original General Motors New Car Limited Warranty coverage. Parts replaced on vehicles which are beyond the warranty period should be returned only if the customer has no desire to retain the parts.

ABS parts to be retured under this program are:

Master Cylinder Wheel Speed Sensor Modulator Valve Master Cylinder Reservoir Pump and Motor Assembly Control Module Booster Master Cylinder Pressure Warning Switch Acutator Assembly Valve Block

Please return all parts as soon as possible after the repair is completed. When shipping the part(s), please protectively wrap the part(s) and include a legible copy of the repair order.

All parts are to be returned directly to Teves at the following address:

ITT-Teves 400 Ridgefield Ct. Brevard Rd. Asheville, N.C. 28806-2213 Attn: Customer Service

Parts should be shipped pre-paid (DO NOT SHIP BY AIR). Claims for freight reimbursement are to be submitted once a month. Initiate one repair order for all freight charges using the Vehicle Identification Number and mileage of one vehicle which had a part failure.

Claims are to be submitted using Labor Operation T4627 with Trouble Code 92. Freight expense must be listed in the sublet column. The dealer is responsible to retain and make available upon request the original paid receipts for freight costs.

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.
