Blind Spot Monitor for Chevrolet Silverado — Fleet Specification
Blind Spot Monitor on the Chevrolet Silverado is one of the few items where the specification is not a matter of taste. This fleet specification covers what has to be checked before the part is bought, what the installation actually involves, and what has to be documented for the vehicle to stay insurable and road legal in your market.
Failures here are rarely dramatic. They are packing that arrived crushed at the port, or documentation that arrived after the container shipped — the kind of problem that shows up at the worst possible moment.

Installation notes

How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 7 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 1000 pieces per line.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. REACH documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
