# Warranty Administration - Labor Time Updates

Subject: | Labor Time Guide Updates

Models: | 1994-99 Passenger Cars and Trucks

This bulletin addresses changes to the published General Motors Labor Time Guides. These changes (new or revised) are the result of new time studies and/or dealer "Requests For Review" being handled by the GM Service Operations Group. They are effective upon receipt. All changes will appear in the next printing of the Labor Time Guide.

Important: Please retain any changes made to the A, B, D and L Car Labor Time Guides as these vehicles have been discontinued since 1997 and the Labor Time Guides will not be republished. In addition, as of December 23, 1998, the P/H Truck Chassis will be discontinued and the last Labor Time Guide will be published in February, 1999. Thereafter, all changes should be retained.
