the vehicle's originally
designed appearance and
safety performance; however,
the history of these parts is
not known. Such parts are not
covered by the 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 the 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 the GM New
Vehicle Limited Warranty, and
any vehicle failure related to
such parts is not covered by
that warranty.
Repair Facility
GM also recommends that you
choose a collision repair
facility that meets your needs
before you ever need collision
repairs. Your dealer 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 the Vehicle
Protect your investment in the
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
the 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
ensure that the vehicle will be
repaired with GM original
Customer Information
equipment collision parts.
If such insurance coverage is
not available from your
current insurance carrier,
consider switching to another
insurance carrier.
If the vehicle is leased, the
leasing company may require
you to have insurance that
ensures repairs with Genuine
GM Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM) parts or
Genuine Manufacturer
replacement parts. Read the
lease carefully, as you may be
charged at the end of the
lease for poor quality repairs.
If a Crash Occurs
If there has been an injury, call
emergency services for help.
Do not leave the scene of a
crash until all matters have
been taken care of. Move the
vehicle only if its position puts
you in danger, or you are
instructed to move it by a
police officer.
