I have found only one TSB out twenty or so that apply that was actually executed on my car—that one is, of course, a doozy (fuel pipe return rattle/knock) that causes judges to think my car was "bubba'd up".
Did the average Corvette owner even know that TSBs existed in the eighties? I'm beginning to think that I should just execute all the ones that apply ... |

It is up to the dealer to apply TSBs...
And to be honest, most car owners don't know they exist today... If you can get GM to honour them, go for it! Recalls, too. A piece of trivia... A friend who worked at a Honda dealer would use a center punch on the VIN, which was stamped into the firewall. The little divot created was his way to marking the car that a recall was performed. I wonder how many other techs do that? |

Quote: bogus wrote: Andy, Interesting ... some of the TSBs that apply to me do have specific instructions to mark a car as having the TSB performed. For example, my misfire/hesitation TSB proscribes a "Campaign Identification Label" that's supposed to go somewhere in an easily visible area on the radiator core support. |

then other mfgs have similar codes...
The Honda one, as I thought about it, was specific as to which position to mark on the VIN... |
