This bulletin cancels and replaces 89-8-29. Bulletin 89-8-29 had an incorrect Labor Operation number.

A new headlamp door actuator arm clip has been released to improve the retention of the link to the headlamp door. The original clip was "C" shaped and could work or fall off the pivot pin causing the headlamp door to become inoperative. The door can continue to be operated manually. The new clip has a positive lock to prevent it from working off due to vibration or friction.

It is important that when installing a headlamp door service package that it be checked for the new design clip. See illustration for old and new style clip.
The new clip part number is 16513899 and should be used whenever the old style is removed during servicing or replacing headlamp door components.

Part is currently available from GMSPO.
