Bulletin No.: 14309A Date: November 2014 Recall Bulletin PRODUCT SAFETY RECALL SUBJECT: Driver Door Switch Short Circuit MODELS: 2006-2007 Buick Rainier 2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT 2006-2007 Chevrolet TrailBlazer 2006 GMC Envoy XL 2006-2007 GMC Envoy 2005-2007 Saab 9-7X Previously Repaired in Safety Recall 12180 This bulletin has been revised to inform dealers that owners of Saab 9-7X vehicles delivered in the U.S. or Canada will receive a separate notification and be addressed by Saab Authorized Service Centers. This bulletin applies to Saab vehicles delivered outside of the U.S. and Canada that are subject to this recall. It is a violation of Federal law for a dealer to deliver a new motor vehicle or any new or used item of motor vehicle equipment (including a tire) covered by this notification under a sale or lease until the defect or noncompliance is remedied. All involved vehicles that are in dealer inventory must be held and not delivered to customers, dealer traded, or used for demonstration purposes until the repair contained in this bulletin has been performed on the vehicle. CONDITION General Motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety may exist in the following vehicles repaired under recall 12180: 2006 model year Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and 2006-2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Buick Rainier, and Saab 9-7X vehicles. The service bulletin provided that if the driver’s door module was functioning properly, a protective coating was to be applied. If the module was not working properly, it should be replaced. Vehicles that were repaired by having a protective coating applied to the driver’s door module may continue to have a safety related defect. If fluid, such as melted snow containing road salt, enters the driver’s door module, it may cause corrosion that could result in a short in the circuit board. A short may cause the power door lock and power window switches to function intermittently or may stop working. A short may cause overheating, which could melt components of the door module, producing odor, smoke, or a fire. Additionally, the windows may raise or lower themselves, without user input. These conditions Copyright 2014 General Motors. All Rights Reserved. Page 2 November 2014 Bulletin No.: 14309A may occur even with the vehicle parked and the key removed. Customers should park the vehicle outdoors until it has been remedied. CORRECTION Dealers are to install a new door module. 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 and Canadian 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 followup necessary to complete this recall.

CUSTOMER REIMBURSEMENT - For US Customer requests for reimbursement of previously paid for the recall condition repairs that were not already submitted under recall 12180 (V2737) are to be submitted to the dealer by November 30, 2015, unless otherwise specified by state law. If this is not convenient for the customer, they may mail the completed Customer Reimbursement Request Form and all required documents to the GM Customer Assistance Center. All reasonable and customary costs to correct the condition described in this bulletin should be considered for reimbursement. Any questions or concerns should be reviewed with your GM representative prior to processing the request. When a customer requests reimbursement, they must provide the following: A completed Customer Reimbursement Request Form. This form is mailed to the customer or can be obtained through GM GlobalConnect. The name and address of the person who paid for the repair. Paid receipt confirming the amount of the repair expense, a description of the repair, and the person or entity performing the repair. IMPORTANT: GM requires dealers to approve or deny a reimbursement request within 30 days of receipt. If a reimbursement request is approved, the dealer should immediately issue a check to the customer and submit an appropriate warranty transaction for the incurred expense. If a reimbursement request is denied, the dealer MUST provide the customer with a clear and concise explanation, in writing, as to why the request was denied. The bottom portion of the Customer Reimbursement Request Form may be used for this purpose. If the denial was due to missing documents, the customer can resubmit the request when the missing documents are obtained, as long as it is still within the allowed reimbursement period. Page 5 November 2014 Bulletin No.: 14309A Warranty transactions for customer reimbursement of previously paid repairs are to be submitted as required by GM Global Warranty Management. Additional information can also be found in Warranty Administration Bulletin 11-00-89-004. CUSTOMER REIMBURSEMENT - For Canada and Export Customer requests for reimbursement of previously paid repairs to correct the condition described in this bulletin repairs that were not already submitted under recall 12180 (V2737) are to be submitted to the dealer prior to or by November 30, 2015. When a customer requests reimbursement, they must provide the following: - Proof of ownership at time of repair. Original paid receipt confirming the amount of unreimbursed repair expense(s) (including Service Contract deductibles), a description of the repair, and the person or entity performing the repair. All reasonable and customary costs to correct the condition described in this bulletin should be considered for reimbursement. Any questions or concerns should be reviewed with your GM representative prior to processing the request. COURTESY TRANSPORTATION – For US and Canada The General Motors Courtesy Transportation program is intended to minimize customer inconvenience when a vehicle requires a repair that is covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranties. The availability of courtesy transportation to customers whose vehicles are within the warranty coverage period and involved in a product program is very important in maintaining customer satisfaction. Dealers are to ensure that these customers understand that shuttle service or some other form of courtesy transportation is available and will be provided at no charge. Dealers should refer to the General Motors Service Policies and Procedures Manual for Courtesy Transportation guidelines. WARRANTY TRANSACTION INFORMATION Submit a transaction using the table below. All transactions should be submitted as a ZFAT transaction type, unless noted otherwise. Labor Code 9100786 9100792 9100793 Description Door Lock & Side Window Switch Replacement Customer Reimbursement Approved – Not for Saab Use Customer Reimbursement Denied – For US dealers only Labor Time 0.5 0.2 0.1 Net Item N/A * N/A * Customer reimbursement will NOT close this recall.

CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION – For US and Canada General Motors will notify customers of this recall on their vehicle (see copy of customer letter included with this bulletin). Page 6 November 2014 Bulletin No.: 14309A CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION – For 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. DEALER RECALL RESPONSIBILITY – For US and Export (US States, Territories, and Possessions) It is a violation of Federal law for a dealer to deliver a new motor vehicle or any new or used item of motor vehicle equipment (including a tire) covered by this notification under a sale or lease until the defect or noncompliance is remedied. The US National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act provides that each vehicle that is subject to a recall of this type must be adequately repaired within a reasonable time after the customer has tendered it for repair. A failure to repair within sixty days after tender of a vehicle is prima facie evidence of failure to repair within a reasonable time. If the condition is not adequately repaired within a reasonable time, the customer may be entitled to an identical or reasonably equivalent vehicle at no charge or to a refund of the purchase price less a reasonable allowance for depreciation. To avoid having to provide these burdensome remedies, every effort must be made to promptly schedule an appointment with each customer and to repair their vehicle as soon as possible. In the recall notification letters, customers are told how to contact the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration if the recall is not completed within a reasonable time. DEALER RECALL RESPONSIBILITY – All All unsold new vehicles in dealers' possession and subject to this recall must be held and inspected/repaired per the service procedure of this recall bulletin before customers take possession of these vehicles. Dealers are to service all vehicles subject to this recall at no charge to customers, regardless of mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership, from this time forward. Customers who have recently purchased vehicles sold from your vehicle inventory, and for which there is no customer information indicated on the dealer 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. Recall follow-up 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 recall enters your vehicle inventory, or is in your dealership for service in the future, you must take the steps necessary to be sure the recall 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. We Support Voluntary Technician Certification Page 7 November 2014 Bulletin No.: 14309A IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL November 2014 Dear General Motors Customer: This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. General Motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2006 model year Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and 2006-2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Buick Rainier, and Saab 9-7X vehicles repaired under safety recall 12180. As a result, GM is conducting a safety recall. We apologize for this inconvenience. However, we are concerned about your safety and continued satisfaction with our products. IMPORTANT This notice applies to your 2006 model year Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT or 2006-2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Buick Rainier, or Saab 9-7X vehicles, VIN_____________________________________. Your vehicle is involved in GM safety recall 14309. Schedule an appointment with your GM dealer. This service will be performed for you at no charge. Why is your vehicle being recalled? Previously, your vehicle was serviced under safety recall 12180, which provided that if the driver’s door module was functioning properly, a protective coating was to be applied. If the module was not working properly, it was to be replaced. Your vehicle was repaired by having a protective coating applied to the driver’s door module and may continue to have a safety related defect. If fluid, such as melted snow containing road salt, enters the driver’s door module, it may cause corrosion that could result in a short in the circuit board. A short may cause the power door lock and power window switches to function intermittently or may stop working. A short may cause overheating, which could melt components of the door module, producing odor, smoke, or a fire. Additionally, the windows may raise or lower themselves, without user input. These conditions may occur even with the vehicle parked and the key removed. What will we do? Your GM dealer will install a new door module. This service will be performed for you at no charge. Because of service scheduling requirements, it is likely that your dealer will need your vehicle longer than the actual service correction time of approximately 30 minutes. What should you do? You should contact your GM dealer to arrange a service appointment as soon as possible. It is advised that you park your vehicle outdoors until it has been remedied. Page 8 November 2014 Bulletin No.: 14309A Did you already pay for this repair? Even though you may have already had service performed on the driver's door module, you will still need to take your vehicle to your dealer for this recall repair. If you have paid for repairs for the recall condition and have not already submitted for reimbursement under safety recall 12180, please complete the enclosed reimbursement form and present it to your dealer with all required documents. Working with your dealer will expedite your request, however, if this is not convenient, you may mail the completed reimbursement form and all required documents to Reimbursement Department, PO Box 33170, Detroit, MI 48232-5170. The completed form and required documents must be presented to your dealer or received by the Reimbursement Department by November 30, 2015, unless state law specifies a longer reimbursement period.
