When GM Releases a TSB...

TxDoc · February 3, 2002

Is there any responsibility with the dealer or with GMC or Chevrolet to contact truck owners and inform them of a TSB? I hear people inquiring about them and it seems like if you are not "in the know" on finding them on the net, then you are lost.

I believe GM only contacts owners for a "recall" or safety related item. A TSB is basically an acknowledgement from GM to it's dealers about a potential problem that could occur with some vehicles, and it describes the symptoms and explains how to correct the problem, so the dealer is able to quickly take care of it for the consumer.
