Service Bulletin Bulletin No.: 22-NA-070 Date: April, 2022 INFORMATION Subject: Brand: Buick Cadillac Chevrolet GMC Information on Certified Service Mobile Toolbox Application (CSMT) Replacement Parts Traceability (RPT) Model: GM Passenger Cars and Trucks Model Year: VIN: from to from to 2015 2022 — — Involved Region or Country Transmission: — — North America Replacement Parts Traceability (RPT) Process Overview and Introduction: The General Motors Replacement Parts Traceability (RPT) process is a method to aid in tracking certain part replacements on a vehicle. By using the Certified Service Mobile Toolbox Application (CSMT) Replacement Parts Traceability (RPT) function, the dealer will scan the VIN of the vehicle and the barcode/ QR code of the new part being installed on the vehicle. Once submitted, this information will then be stored in a database where key stakeholders will be able to reference replaced parts for future use. By using the Replacement Part Traceability function of the CSMT app, General Motors will be able to know exactly which parts are on a vehicle, even after a service part replacement. Note: Not every part replacement part will need to be scanned using the CSMT app. If the situation arises that General Motors would like to trace the replacement part, the documentation (Bulletin/Field Action/Recall) will make note that the technician must use the Replacement Part Traceability (RPT) function. Fundamental Steps of Replacement Part Traceability: 1. Dealer will receive communication to document specific issue/part serial numbers. This will most commonly be through a bulletin, field action, or recall. 2. The technician will use CSMT to scan the VIN of the vehicle and the dealer-installed part serial number/barcode. The technician will then submit the information through the CSMT application. 3. Data is sent to General Motors Database where VIN and part serial number will be stored for potential future use.
