SERVICE UPDATE
Subject:

13144 – Service Update for Inventory and Customer Vehicles – Black Door Tape
Replacement / Cleaning

Models:

2013 Chevrolet Aveo, Sonic, Spark M300 / T300

Attention: This service update includes vehicles in dealer inventory and customer vehicles that
return to the dealership for any reason. This bulletin will expire at the end of the
involved vehicle's New Vehicle Limited Warranty period.

Purpose
This bulletin provides a service procedure to clean or replace the black door tape at the A and B pillars.
This service procedure should be completed as soon as possible on involved vehicles currently in dealer
inventory and customer vehicles that return to the dealer for any type of service during the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty coverage period.

Vehicles Involved
All involved vehicles are identified by Vehicle Identification Number on the Investigate Vehicle History screen in GM
Global Warranty Management system. Dealership service personnel should always check this site to confirm vehicle
involvement prior to beginning any required inspections and/or repairs. It is important to routinely use this tool to
verify eligibility because not all similar vehicles may be involved regardless of description or option content.
For dealers with involved vehicles, a listing with involved vehicles containing the complete vehicle identification
number, customer name, and address information has been prepared and will be provided to US dealers through the
GM GlobalConnect Recall Reports, or sent directly to export dealers. Dealers will not have a report available if they
have no involved vehicles currently assigned.
The listing may contain customer names and addresses obtained from Motor Vehicle Registration Records. The use
of such motor vehicle registration data for any purpose other than follow-up necessary to complete this recall is a
violation of law in several states/provinces/countries. Accordingly, you are urged to limit the use of this report to the
follow-up necessary to complete this recall.
Important: Dealers are to confirm vehicle eligibility prior to beginning repairs by using the Required Field
Actions section in the Global Warranty system. Not all vehicles within the above breakpoints may be
involved.

Parts Information
Parts required to complete this program are to be obtained from General Motors Customer Care and Aftersales
(GMCC&A). Please refer to your “involved vehicles listing” before ordering parts. Normal orders should be placed on
a DRO = Daily Replenishment Order. In an emergency situation, parts should be ordered on a CSO = Customer
Special Order.
