Saturn regularly sends its retailers useful service bulletins about Saturn products. Saturn monitors product performance in the field. We then prepare bulletins for servicing our products better. You can get these bulletins, too.

Bulletins cover various subjects. Some pertain to the proper use and care of your vehicle. Some describe costly repairs. Others describe inexpensive repairs which, if done on time with the latest parts, may avoid future costly repairs.

Some bulletins tell a technician how to repair a new or unexpected condition. Others describe a quicker way to fix your vehicle. They can help a technician service your vehicle better.

Most bulletins apply to conditions affecting a small number of vehicles. Your Saturn retailer or a qualified technician may have to determine if a specific bulletin applies to your vehicle.

You can buy individual bulletins, such as those which may pertain to a particular model. To do this, you will first need to see the index of our bulletins. It provides a variety of information. Here's what you'll find in the index and how you can get one.

Bulletins covering all models of S-Series Saturn vehicles are listed in the same index.

Indexes are published periodically each model year, and each issue is updated cumulatively. Most of the bulletins which could potentially apply to the most recent Saturn model will be listed in the last publication for the model year.

This means you may want to wait until the end of the model year before ordering an index, if you are interested in buying bulletins pertaining to a current model year car.

Some Bulletins that pertain to a particular model year vehicle may be published in later years, and these would be listed in the later year's index. When you order an index for a model year that is not over yet, we'll send you the most recently published issue.
