Condition Correction General Motors has decided to conduct a voluntary emissions recall involving certain 2019 - 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 4500HD, 5500HD and 6500HD vehicles. The Vehicle Emissions Control Information (VECI) label may contain an incorrect certification group identifier.

Customers may install the label or, if they desire, they may take the label to their dealer for installation at no charge. Parts The VECI label overlays will be mailed directly to the customers. Dealers with unsold inventory will also receive labels via USPS. Due to low inventory at the GM 1Store, dealers should only order labels if necessary and should check their parts department for receipt of the mailed labels before ordering. The correct label can be determined using the chart below, by ordering according to the 12 character code in the bottom left corner of the VECI label. 1Store orders must contain the Correct GHG Family Name in the OverLimit Reason comment box.

Dealer Responsibility All new, used, GM Certified Used, courtesy transportation vehicles, dealer shuttle vehicles, etc. in dealers' possession and subject to this recall 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 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 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 field action enters your vehicle inventory you must take the steps necessary to ensure the program correction has been made before selling the vehicle. In addition, for vehicles entering your facility for service, you are required to ensure the customer is aware of the open field action and make every reasonable effort to implement the program correction as set forth in this bulletin prior to releasing the vehicle.
