Limited Production Option (LPO)
LPOs are accessories that are factory invoiced options
ordered at the time the vehicle order is completed.
Under the guidelines for GM Parts Warranties, GM LPO
Accessories permanently installed on a GM vehicle

Copyright 2022 General Motors LLC. All Rights Reserved.

PRIOR to new vehicle delivery will be covered under
the provisions of the Bumper to Bumper New Vehicle
Limited Warranty (Canada Base Warranty).
Labor Code 0590032 should be used to claim the time
for dealer installation of LPOs. Eligible labor time for
LPO installation can be found in the Labor Time Guide
(LTG) under: General Information > Pre-Delivery
Inspection > PDI – Dealer Installed – Factory Invoiced
Options. Labor for installation of an LPO accessory
must be claimed using this labor operation, not under
the regular warranty repair labor operation.
Select LPO accessories that require a calibration
update as part of the installation must be submitted
using a unique labor operation. The LTG as well as the
installation instructions in SI will direct users to the
correct labor operation in these cases.

Basic LPO Installation Process:
1. Check vehicle build in IVH for all “Dealer Installed”
RPO/LPOs.
2. Locating the correct accessory installation
instructions:
⇒ Most GM Accessories come with a single-page
sheet that includes the Instruction ID Part
Number, which is searchable in the Service
Information Accessories Manual.
3. Always reference instruction sheets in SI for each
new accessory installation, as instruction sheets
may be updated with new information.

Note: Some I-sheets include diagnostics
4. Confirm all “Dealer Installed” accessories in
vehicle build list are installed correctly on vehicle
according to instructions in SI.
5. IMPORTANT: If called for in the SI instructions,
confirm all required calibration updates are
installed. Record any applicable warranty claim
codes generated during calibration events.
5.1. Before performing programming via SPS,
technicians must contact the Techline
Customer Support Center (TCSC) at
1-800-828-6860 English or 1-800-503-3222
French to have the appropriate Accessory
calibration applied to the VIN.
5.2. If programming is attempted BEFORE
contacting TCSC, SPS will not deliver the
correct accessory calibration to the vehicle.
The user may also receive a message
advising that they are attempting to program
with the “same calibration” – a warning that
the vehicle has not received the required
accessory calibration.
5.3. For additional details, refer to Service Bulletin
#22-NA-053: New Labor Operations for
Limited Production Option (LPO) Calibrated
Accessories.

Accessory Catalog Offerings (ACO or
over-the-counter)
For all GM ACO accessories installed by a dealer or
Accessories Distributor Installer (ADI), a ZSET
transaction should be submitted in Global Warranty
Management (GWM) using the appropriate
“installation” labor operation found in the Labor Time
Guide under General Information > Dealer Installed GM
Accessory Installation. “Installation” labor operations
are zero dollar transactions (no labor, parts or net
allowed) but will add the accessory to the vehicle build
record in Investigate Vehicle History (IVH). This
information will help dealers determine the warranty
coverage of the accessory.
Warranty repairs within the Bumper to Bumper New
Vehicle Limited Warranty (Canada Base Warranty)
coverage period are to be submitted as a ZREG
Transaction Type using the applicable regular warranty
repair labor operation.
Warranty repairs after the Bumper to Bumper New
Vehicle Limited Warranty (Canada Base Warranty)
expires, but within the 12 months/unlimited miles
(unlimited km) coverage from the time of installation,
are to be submitted as a ZPTI Transaction Type using
the applicable regular warranty repair labor operation.
Accessories that require calibration updates as part of
the installation may have the cost of the calibration
covered in the price of the ACO accessory. In these
cases, the instruction sheets found in SI will have a
special labor code mentioned just for covering the cost
of the calibration update.

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.
