Note: Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which parts to order.
IMPORTANT: Due to limited initial parts availability, DO NOT ORDER parts included in this field action for use as
shelf stock (DRO). Parts should only be ordered when the dealer has confirmed and validated, and their VIN is
included in the open list. Parts required to complete this repair are to be obtained from General Motors Customer
Care and Aftersales (GMCC&A). Due to order writing control orders will not ship as OVN. Please take this into
consideration in shipping if not coming from your Admin PDC.
Reminder: Parts will be removed from SPRINT, they are non-returnable and may be removed from Retail Inventory
Management (RIM). Dealers should review the affected parts to confirm RIM managed status. Parts may have quantity
limiters in effect. For Export: Please contact CCA’s Export Order Fulfillment group to place the order on your behalf.
Note: All vehicles will be required to reuse the intake manifold from the engine currently in the vehicle. For police package
(RPO 9C1) vehicles, the LH and RH Valve Rocker Arm Covers will need to be swapped over from the engine in the
vehicle to the replacement engine as well. Valve Rocker Arm Cover Gaskets are not needed for non-police package
vehicles.
Engine Return Instructions: Assemblies with core charges must be retained for 72 hours beyond receipt of transaction
payment shown in the Global Warranty Management System on the Transaction Summary Report. If a Warranty Parts
Center (WPC) part return request is not received within 72 hours, the core can be shipped to the Core Return Center.

Service Procedure
IMPORTANT: If a vehicle you are working on for this field action has had a catastrophic engine failure, refer to 22-NA074 for additional instructions. It will be necessary to H-route the warranty transaction for approval for the additional parts
and labor required if there was a catastrophic engine failure.
Replace the engine. Refer to Engine Replacement in SI.
Dealer Responsibility
All new, used, GM Certified Pre-Owned (CPO), courtesy transportation vehicles, dealer shuttle vehicles, CarBravo, etc.
in dealers' possession and subject to this field action 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, dealer-traded, released to auction, used for demonstration, or any other purpose.
All GM Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicles currently in the dealers’ inventory within the SHIFT Digital system 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 SHIFT Digital system, or once again be used in the Courtesy Transportation 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 September 30, 2026. 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 September 30, 2026, you must take the steps necessary to be sure the program correction has been made before
selling or releasing the vehicle.

Field Action Reports or sent directly to export dealers. The Inventory tab of the dealer reports will contain VINs that

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.

warranty coverage period. See General Motors Service Policies and Procedures Manual for courtesy transportation
program details.

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.
