SERVICE PROCEDURE

1. Dealers are to order a new set of labels per Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), from the Special Service Support Center (SSSC) BEFORE scheduling a vehicle for service.

6. Using a clean cloth and isopropyl alcohol remove any remaining residue left from the mineral spirits.

7. Install both new labels in the same location and orientation in which they were removed on the B-Pillar. See Figures 5 and 6.

 

8. Place the Truck Camper Loading sheet (if equipped) into glove box.
