Description

Involved vehicles are marked “Open” on the Investigate Vehicle History screen in GM Global Warranty Management
system. This site should always be checked to confirm vehicle involvement prior to beginning any required inspections
and/or repairs.
Condition

Correction

Due to the industry-wide semiconductor shortage, the heat feature on the steering wheel is not
functional on certain 2021-2023 model year vehicles listed above, built beginning November 17,
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 steering wheel assembly.

Caution: During steering wheel bolt removal, observe the following precautions:

N222371151 – Heated Steering Wheel Retrofit – Steering Wheel
Replacement Only
•
•

•

Do NOT use heat on the steering wheel bolt, steering wheel, or steering column. Using heat could cause damage
to the steering related components.
Do NOT hammer or apply excessive downward force on the steering wheel bolt, steering wheel, or steering
column. Hammering or applying excessive downward force could cause damage to the steering related
components.
Damaged columns due to hammering or excessive downward force can cause a rubbing of the trim pieces
potentially leading to a customer comeback.

Note:
•
•
•
•
1.

Steering wheel bolts installed during manufacturing require high torque efforts to remove.
The ONLY acceptable bit for removing and installing the steering wheel bolt is a T50 Torx bit. Do NOT use any
other size bit or a worn bit.
If a power tool is used to remove the steering wheel bolt, the tool must have a minimum torque rating greater
than 75 NM (55 lb ft) and both the power tool and the T50 Torx bit MUST be positioned perpendicular to the bolt
recess.
Apply appropriate downward force to maintain engagement of bit to bolt recess during bolt removal.

Remove and replace the Steering Wheel. Refer to Steering Wheel Replacement in SI.

Dealer Responsibility
All new, used, GM Certified Used, courtesy transportation vehicles, dealer shuttle vehicles, etc. in dealers’ possession
and subject to this program must be held and inspected/repaired per the service procedure of this bulletin before
customers take possession of these vehicles. Involved vehicles must be held and not delivered to customers, dealertraded, released to auction, used for demonstration, or any other purpose.
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
for sale within the CPOIS system, or once again be used in the CTP program.
Dealers are to service all vehicles subject to this program at no charge to customers, regardless of mileage, age of vehicle,
or ownership, through January 31, 2027. Customers who have recently purchased vehicles sold from your vehicle
inventory, and for which there is no customer information indicated on the involved vehicle listing, are to be contacted by
the dealer. 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 followup cards should not be used for this purpose, since the customer may not as yet have received the notification letter.
In summary, whenever a vehicle subject to this program enters your vehicle inventory or is in your facility for service
through January 31, 2027, you must take the steps necessary to be sure the program correction has been made before
selling or releasing the vehicle.
Dealer Reports – For USA & Export
For dealers with involved vehicles, a listing has been prepared and will be available through GM GlobalConnect Maxis
Field Action Reports or sent directly to export dealers. The Inventory tab of the dealer reports will contain VINs that
apply to this field action. This information is intended to assist dealers with the PROMPT COMPLETION of these
vehicles. The Customer In-Service tab will contain customer names and addresses from Motor Vehicle Registration
Records. The use of such motor vehicle registration data for any purpose other than follow-up necessary to complete
this field action may be a violation of law in several states.
Courtesy Transportation – For USA & Canada
Courtesy transportation is available for customers whose vehicles are involved in a product program and still within the
warranty coverage period. See General Motors Service Policies and Procedures Manual for courtesy transportation
program details.
Customer Notification
USA & Canada – General Motors will notify customers of this program on their vehicle (see copy of customer letter
included with this bulletin).
Export – Letters will be sent to known owners of record located within areas covered by the US National Traffic and Motor
Vehicle Safety Act. For owners outside these areas, dealers should notify customers using the attached sample letter.
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.
