For each eligible Takata air bag recall repair performed
at a GM dealership from January 1, 2018 through
December 31, 2018, dealers should submit for a $50.00
dealer completion bonus via the GM Global Warranty
System. Check the appropriate recall bulletin in the
electronic Service Information (eSI) system for detailed
submission instructions.
Courtesy Transportation Reimbursement
Even though the involved vehicles are well beyond
courtesy transportation eligibility guidelines, dealers
are authorized to provide alternate transportation to
affected vehicle owners while their vehicle is at a GM
dealership for completion of an eligible Takata air bag
recall. This could include one-way or two-way shuttle
service, one half-day vehicle rental or one full-day
vehicle rental with maximum reimbursement capped at
one full-day vehicle rental. The availability of courtesy
transportation to these vehicle owners is very important
in encouraging them to make their vehicle available as
soon as possible for this serious safety related repair.
When scheduling service appointments, it is imperative
that dealers make sure these vehicle owners clearly
understand that some form of courtesy transportation is
available and will be provided at no charge while their
vehicle is being repaired. The GM recalls and vehicles
identified in the following table are eligible for courtesy
transportation reimbursement.

GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these
technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper
service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do a
job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your
vehicle will have that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the
information.
