CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
General Motors will notify customers of this program on their vehicle (see copy of customer
letter included with this bulletin).
DEALER PROGRAM RESPONSIBILITY
All unsold new vehicles in dealers' possession and subject to this program must be held and
inspected/repaired per the service procedure of this program bulletin before customers take
possession of these vehicles.
Dealers are to service all vehicles subject to this program 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 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 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 program enters your vehicle inventory, or is in
your facility for service in the future, you must take the steps necessary to be sure the program
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.

Dear General Motors Customer:
Congratulations on the purchase of your new 2014 model year Chevrolet Silverado or GMC
Sierra truck!
Due to a shortage of rubber floor mats at the time that you purchased your new vehicle, your
dealer provided you with a set of carpeted floor mats to protect your carpet. This letter is to
inform you that your rubber mats are now available.
To limit any possible inconvenience, we recommend that you contact your dealer as soon as
possible to schedule an appointment to have the floor mats installed at no charge. By
scheduling an appointment, your dealer can ensure that your mats will be available on your
scheduled appointment date.
Since you will now have two sets of floor mats, we want to remind you that only one set of floor
mats should be installed. Installing more than one set of floor mats can interfere with the
pedals. Below are the guidelines for proper floor mat usage:

The original equipment floor mats were designed for your vehicle. If the floor mats need
replacing, it is recommended that GM certified floor mats be purchased. Non-GM floor
mats may not fit properly and may interfere with the pedals. Always check that the floor
mats do not interfere with the pedals.

Use the floor mat with the correct side up. Do not turn it over.

Do not place anything on top of the driver side floor mats.

Use only a single floor mat on the driver side.

Do not place one floor mat on top of another.
If you have any questions or concerns that your dealer is unable to resolve, please contact the
appropriate Customer Assistance Center at the number listed below.
