Unlike the data recorders on many airplanes, these
on-board systems do not record sounds, such as
conversation of vehicle occupants.
To read this information, special equipment is needed
and access to the vehicle or the device that stores
the data is required. GM will not access information
about a crash event or share it with others other than:
•
with the consent of the vehicle owner or, if the
vehicle is leased, with the consent of the lessee,
•
in response to an official request of police or similar
government office,
•
as part of GM's defense of litigation through the
discovery process, or
•
as required by law.
In addition, once GM collects or receives data, GM may:
•
use the data for GM research needs,
•
make it available for research where appropriate
confidentiality is to be maintained and need is
shown, or
•
share summary data which is not tied to a specific
vehicle with non-GM organizations for research
purposes.

Others, such as law enforcement, may have access
to the special equipment that can read the information
if they have access to the vehicle or the device that
stores the data.

Collision Damage Repair

If your vehicle is involved in a collision and it is damaged,
have the damage repaired by a qualified technician using
the proper equipment and quality replacement parts.
Poorly performed collision repairs will diminish your
vehicle's resale value, and safety performance can be
compromised in subsequent collisions.
Collision Parts
Genuine GM Collision parts are new parts made with the
same materials and construction methods as the parts
with which your vehicle was originally built. Genuine GM
Collision parts are your best choice to assure that your
vehicle's designed appearance, durability and safety
are preserved. The use of Genuine GM parts can help
maintain your GM New Vehicle Warranty.
Recycled original equipment parts may also be used
for repair. These parts are typically removed from
vehicles that were total losses in prior accidents.
