Subject:
Changes in Powertrain Warranty Coverage Effective with 2010 Model Year
Models:
2010-2014 GM Passenger Cars and Trucks
Following a competitive assessment, effective with the
2010 Model Year and beyond, General Motors made
changes to the 5 year/100,000 mile (160,000 km)
Extended Powertrain Warranty Coverage. This
assessment both added and removed certain
components from this coverage. A review of
transactions shows that many of the components that
were removed from this coverage have in many cases
continued to be replaced under policy as the result of
confusion over proper coverage. An examination of the
Powertrain Coverage Tables in the GM Labor Time
Guide revealed that there were certain components
that showed as “covered” in error. The Powertrain
Coverage Tables will be updated in June 2013 to reflect
the updated information.
As a general reminder, the following items were
removed from Extended Powertrain coverage for 2010
and later vehicles. Service Agents in the U.S.
should refer to the latest version of Bulletin
Number 11-00-89-005 “Dealer Empowerment” for
situations where the vehicle is out of warranty, and the
dealer believes policy assistance would be appropriate.
Service Agents in Canada should continue to refer to
the Goodwill section on the Warranty Administration
Homepage in GM Global Connect.

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 equipment, tools, 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 GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the
information.
