Existing Labor Time Guides (LTGs) are being replaced
with new global labor code Labor Time Guides
designated as “GLC” in SI. LTGs will be established for
all 2005 and later model year vehicles. See information
below to submit a warranty or policy claim on vehicles
before 2005. The U.S. and Canada will begin using the
new global code format effective with claims submitted
on May 7, 2013. Effective with this date, all claims must
use the new labor code format. Select the GLC Labor
Time Guide when looking up applicable labor codes
and times in SI as shown below. You will continue to
see both LTG versions in SI until other global business
units transition to the new global labor codes.

and Business Units globally.
Past Model Warranty Claims (before
MY 2005)
If a warranty, policy or parts warranty claim is submitted
for a vehicle built before model year (MY) 2005, refer to

reimbursement.

Global Labor Code Exceptions
Field Actions or Special Coverage labor codes – All
labor codes (five digit) that existed prior to May 7th will
continue to be used even if the applicable Bulletin is
subsequently updated. New Field Actions, Special
Coverage and Customer Satisfaction Bulletins will
transition to a 7 digit global code.
Service Bulletins and PI’s – Service Bulletins
published prior to May 7th will continue to use
published unique labor codes. If these bulletins are
updated after May 7th the labor code will be updated to
a new global labor code. It will be necessary to always
refer to the latest version of the Service Bulletin or PI.
Existing Bulletins and PIs that do not contain a unique
Bulletin labor code and refer the reader to “Use
Published Labor Operation Time” for the labor code in
the LTG will require the dealer to look up the
appropriate global labor code as described above.
Published Labor code information will be updated to
Global Labor codes whenever the Bulletin or PI is
updated.
Bulletin No.: 13-00-89-005
Warranty Processing Information and
Key Timing Information
For full details on the Global Labor Code transition and
important warranty processing information, please refer
to the Global Labor Code Transition Newsletter posted
in the Global Connect Library under Service>Warranty.
Warranty parts Center (WPC) Requests
In order to avoid adjustments (add credits) for core
charges, administrative allowances, or postage
charges on transactions involving WPC requests, we
will institute a new process for the submission of these
charges. Effective May, 7th these charges, for a WPC
return, will be submitted on a separate line using the
temporary GLC 0600064. This will eliminate the need
for an adjustment and reduce the number of repeat
repair authorizations needed. This new labor operation
code can be used through August 7th, after which you
will need to revert back to the current process of
requesting an add credit on the original transaction.
