Parts/Warranty Information

Order the appropriate Installation Kit(s) (passenger, driver, or both) from GMSPO. A parts bulletin containing the switch kit part numbers will be distributed. Parts are expected to be available on January 19, 1998.

If special DERMs or SDMs are required to resolve a "warning light ON" condition, order the part from GMSPO in the normal manner. A parts bulletin containing the special part numbers will be distributed at a later date.

Important:
1995-98 G (Aurora and Riviera) and 1997-98 Y (Corvette) switch kits include replacement safety belts. These belts MUST replace the original safety belts when installing a switch kit. Aurora and Riviera models built on or after January 1, 1998 will include "Depowered" air bags, and the safety belts on these vehicles will not be included in switch kits and MUST NOT BE CHANGED. The 1997-98 Corvette models will require safety belt changes regardless of build dates. The belts will be replaced at no charge for the parts or the labor.

Switch kits and installation are NOT considered a warranty repair. Parts and labor charges (except for special DERM or SDM, and replacement safety belt installation if required) are the responsibility of the customer. If special DERMs or SDMs are required to resolve a "warning light ON" condition, USE THE EXISTING LABOR OPERATION AND TIME ALLOWANCES WITH THE SPECIAL CUSTOMER AND FAILURE CODES WHEN SUBMITTING CLAIMS:

DERMs - USE OPERATION C8815, CUSTOMER COMPLAINT CODE WK AND FAILURE CODE 93.
