I have been doing this job for several years and I struggle to find bulletins that GM refers us to in Global Connect.
Can someone help me with finding these in a simple way?
Global connect is pretty much a joke when it comes to trying to find this type thing and also with filing claims!

When you search for a bulletin are you searching for a specific bulletin number or are you searching for a bulletin containing a certain subject?

Are you searching for technical or procedural information in S.I. or are you searching for a Global Connect message?

As you are likely aware there are several places within Global where GM can hide things. It is easy to forget some places even exist.

More information and I may be able to assist.

One thing I do is keep EVERY GM email sent to me. All the Global Connect messages are filed in my PC by department or subject. Sometimes copied and cross-referenced. It is easier to search Outlook than GC.

the SI ones I find pretty easily it is the GM global ones that I struggle to find, I think that I must be attempting in the incorrect area. I usually try by the search box in the top center of the page or scroll through the alerts.

today I was searching for GCUS-9-9216, & GCUS-9-9271

i guess it also helps if you don't have dyslexia when writing down the bulletin #'s

I usually find the ones beginning in a GCUS prefix by looking in the search box in the upper center of the Globalconnect home page. If you are searching for service bulletins concerning recalls, service updates, and technical repair information, look in the Service Information (SI) section.
