THIS BULLETIN CANCELS AND REPLACES BULLETIN 91-5-13 ISSUED 5/91. THIS BULLETIN IS BEING REVISED TO INCLUDE 1992 MODELS.

CONDITION:

Some 1991-92 Bonneville models may experience the following condition. When the rear brake shoes are damp and the ambient temperature 32 degrees Fahrenheit or lower, the shoes may temporarily freeze to the brake drum. This normally occurs after the vehicle has gone through an automatic car wash or heavy slush and then is parked for some time.

CORRECTION:

If a customer should comment on the above condition, replace both left and right brake shoes with the listed part numbers. The shoes have a lower metallic content and will more easily break loose from the brake drum.
