1984 - 1985 SUNBIRD AND 1985 GRAND AM
Some early production 1984 - 1985 Sunbirds and 1985 Grand Ams may have been assembled with front brake pads which had a chamfer on the leading and rear edge of the linings.
If a owner comment is encountered of a front brake squeak or whistle type noise on a Sunbird or Grand Am which have chamfered front brake linings, the new service kit 12321417 should be installed on 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.
