Summary
Customer Satisfaction Program. Due to the industry-wide semiconductor shortage, the front heated/ventilated seats, front heated seats, or rear heated seats are not functional on certain 2022-2023 model year vehicles listed above, built beginning November 15, 2021. The affected vehicle owners should have been made aware of the condition at sale, and notified that once parts are available, they would be eligible for a no additional cost retrofit to enable the feature. Dealers are to replace the front seat heater control module, reprogram the body control module and on some vehicles, reprogram the HVAC control module and heater and air conditioning user interface control. Note: Some vehicles may also require an additional retrofit of the Left and Right Front Seat Cushion Ventilation Blower in order to restore full functionality of the ventilated seats. Vehicles built with this condition can be identified by RPO 04O. Use IVH to verify if the vehicle is currently eligible in the Front Seat Cushion Vent Blowers Retrofit bulletin N222378560. If so, both retrofits should be performed at the same time.

To:
All General Motors Dealers
This bulletin has been revised to update the service procedure. A graphic,
note, and step have been added to help identify if the heater and air
conditioning user interface control is required on a small number of certain
vehicles. Please discard all copies of bulletin N212354520-04.
Part availability for the 2022 model year Buick Envision is still limited at this
time. However, a portion of the impacted VINs have been moved to an Open
status. The Open VINs are prioritized by cold weather region. It is imperative
that IVH is verified prior to performing repairs. We estimate the remaining
2022 model year Buick Envisions will be eligible in Q1 of 2023.
N212354520-05 retrofits vehicles that require parts and programming for the
front heated/ventilated seats or front-heated seats.
Due to limited initial parts availability, dealers should not order parts included
in this field action for use as shelf stock. Parts should only be ordered when
the dealer has confirmed and validated the customer has a scheduled
appointment with the service department. Specific VINS will be required to
determine the correct part to order in the Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC).
The Heated Vented Seat retrofit will be executed under six separate bulletins
(N212354520 to N212354525). Please see chart below.
•
•
•
The six bulletins are separated by the parts and programming required
by trim level and model.
Based on parts availability, some of the six bulletins will launch in
phases by model.
Each VIN requiring a Heated Vented Seat retrofit will be included in one
of the six bulletins.
•
It is critical to verify the VIN in IVH to confirm the correct retrofit bulletin
is followed prior to ordering parts or performing repairs.

The remaining retrofit Customer Satisfaction Programs, beyond the Heated
Vented Seats, will occur in phases over the next several months once parts
become available. You will receive notification when they begin.
We encourage working with customers to schedule appointments to complete this
important Customer Satisfaction Program. Please verify a VIN's involvement in
these field actions by checking in IVH. IVH is the best source for individual VIN
inquiries.

Condition
Correction
Due to the industry-wide semiconductor shortage, the front heated/ventilated seats, front heated seats,
or rear heated seats are not functional on certain 2022-2023 model year vehicles listed above, built
beginning November 15, 2021. The affected vehicle owners should have been made aware of the
condition at sale, and notified that once parts are available, they would be eligible for a no additional
cost retrofit to enable the feature.
Dealers are to replace the front seat heater control module, reprogram the body control module and on
some vehicles, reprogram the HVAC control module and heater and air conditioning user interface
control. Note: Some vehicles may also require an additional retrofit of the Left and Right Front Seat
Cushion Ventilation Blower in order to restore full functionality of the ventilated seats. Vehicles built
with this condition can be identified by RPO 04O. Use IVH to verify if the vehicle is currently eligible in
the Front Seat Cushion Vent Blowers Retrofit bulletin N222378560. If so, both retrofits should be
performed at the same time.
