No Boron in 2006 or older GM Vehicles

At the Collision Industry Conference (CIC) and I-CAR annual meeting in 2006 GM’s Bob Hartman said right now GM doesn’t use any boron steel in the structure of its vehicles. Based off that information, a Firefighter can take a quick look at the VIN or registration can tell you the model year and determine if you need to worry about Boron. Firefighters may still encounter other high strength steels, just not Boron.
