Not true. The 480 is still approved for WAAS procedures - the SAIB just recommends a RAIM check and
a non-GPS alternate.

The link Doug Vetter posted to Avionics West in Tennessee makes a very
clear statement that LPV IAPs cannot be flown.

That may be. But that article links to a Garmin document, which states in
part,

"...The Service Bulletin and SAIB notifications will not prevent the pilot
from flying GPS approaches including LNAV/VNAV and LPV procedures..."
