# FRONT BRAKE DUST SHIELD ELIMINATED FROM VEHICLES-INFO.

#### SUBJECT: Front Brake Dust Shields Eliminated from Vehicles (Information) MODELS AFFECTED: 1991 and 1992 Saturns

#### PURPOSE:

Dust shields were removed from front brake assemblies due to engineering studies that have shown dust shields are not necessary and removal of dust shields can improve brake rotor cooling.

KNUCKLE PART NUMBERS FIRST VIN SEQUENCE NUMBER ASSEMBLY AFFECTED WITH SHIELDS REMOVED -------- ------------ -------------------------- Front Left 21011101 NZ109668 Front Right 21011102 NZ109668

CORRECTIVE ACTION: If one of the dust shields becomes damaged on 1991 or 1992 vehicles, repair or replacement is not necessary. Remove the damaged dust shield and the dust shield from the other side, to maintain balance and symmetry. If a new front knuckle assembly is installed, remove the shield from the other front knuckle assembly to maintain balance and symmetry.

#### NOTE: Early 1992 knuckle assemblies from Saturn Parts may have dust shield bolt attachment holes in the casting. The dust shields were eliminated before the castings were changed, so you may disregard these holes.

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.
