USE OF CORRECT PART NUMBER FOR REPLACEMENT OF CIGAR LIGHTER ELEMENT

VEHICLES AFFECTED: 1987-1988 OLDSMOBILE CUTLASS CALAIS ------------------

Analysis of returned parts indicates that many dealers are servicing inoperative lighters with a generic replacement element, part #07025459. This part is NOT specified for these applications, and may lead to repeat conditions including blown fuses.

The correct specified part numbers for the Cutlass Calais cigar lighter elements are shown in the parts catalog, and should be utilized whenever the knob and element assembly is replaced.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those 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 a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
