Condition

Correction

Due to the industry-wide semiconductor shortage, the heat feature on the steering wheel is not
functional on certain 2022-2023 model year vehicles listed above, built beginning January 6,
2022. 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 heated steering wheel control module.

All GM Certified Used vehicles currently in the dealers’ inventory within the Certified Pre-Owned Inventory System
(CPOIS) will be de-certified and must be held and remedied per the service procedure in this bulletin. Upon submitting
an accepted/paid warranty transaction in the Global Warranty Management (GWM) system, the vehicle can be re-certified

Arrangements are to be made to make the required correction according to the instructions contained in this bulletin. A
copy of the customer letter is provided in this bulletin for your use in contacting customers. Program follow-up cards

In summary, whenever a vehicle subject to this program enters your vehicle inventory or is in your facility for service
through March 31, 2026, you must take the steps necessary to be sure the program correction has been made before
selling or releasing the vehicle.

GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these technicians of
conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained
technicians have the tools, equipment, safety instructions, and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT
assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See your dealer for information on whether your
vehicle may benefit from the information.
