Recycled original equipment parts

may also be used for repair.

These parts are typically removed

from vehicles that were total

losses in prior crashes. In most

cases, the parts being recycled are

from undamaged sections of the

vehicle. A recycled original

equipment GM part, may be an

acceptable choice to maintain your

vehicle’s originally designed

appearance and safety performance,

however, the history of these

parts is not known. Such parts are

not covered by your GM New

Vehicle Limited Warranty, and any

related failures are not covered

by that warranty.

Aftermarket collision parts are also

available. These are made by

companies other than GM and may

not have been tested for your

vehicle. As a result, these parts

may ﬁt poorly, exhibit premature

durability/corrosion problems,

and may not perform properly

in subsequent collisions.

Aftermarket parts are not covered

by your GM New Vehicle Limited

Warranty, and any vehicle failure

related to such parts are not covered

by that warranty.

Repair Facility

We recommend that you choose a

collision repair facility that meets

your needs before you ever

need collision repairs. Your

dealer/retailer may have a collision

repair center with GM-trained

technicians and state of the art

equipment, or be able to

recommend a collision repair center

that has GM-trained technicians

and comparable equipment.

Insuring Your Vehicle

Protect your investment in your

GM vehicle with comprehensive

and collision insurance coverage.

There are signiﬁcant differences

in the quality of coverage afforded

by various insurance policy terms.

Many insurance policies provide

reduced protection to your GM

vehicle by limiting compensation

for damage repairs by using

aftermarket collision parts.

Some insurance companies will not

specify aftermarket collision

parts. When purchasing insurance,

we recommend that you assure

your vehicle will be repaired with

GM original equipment collision

parts. If such insurance coverage is

not available from your current

insurance carrier, consider switching

to another insurance carrier.

If your vehicle is leased, the leasing

company may require you to

have insurance that assures

repairs with Genuine GM Original

Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)

parts or Genuine Manufacturer

replacement parts. Read your lease

carefully, as you may be charged

at the end of your lease for poor

quality repairs.
