Condition
Copyright 2023 General Motors LLC. All Rights Reserved.
⇒ Depending on how long the vehicle has been parked, the weather conditions
in which the vehicle was parked in, and how recently the vehicle has been
washed, the customer's concerns may range from simply a noise when the
vehicle first moves, all the way up to the extreme instance where a vehicle
cannot be moved out of the parking space.

Information
February, 2023
Bulletin No.: 17-NA-239
Important: Do Not replace any components for this concern under warranty. This is the
dealer's storage responsibility to move the vehicles when weather permits. This will help
with the brake pads rusting to the rotors. Please review the latest version of Service
Bulletin # 09-00-89-002 for additional new vehicle storage recommendations.
This condition may be caused by the brake pads frozen to the vehicle's rotors.
• High performance brake components have a tendency to lightly bind, often noted as
resistance, then lightly clunk when attempting to move the vehicle forward or rearward
after a cold soak. This is usually noticed after parking, when the brakes have been
wet, as in driving in the rain or just after a car wash. This is expected for high
performance brakes with high friction pads and does not affect the operation or
performance of the brakes.
• If a residual roughness is felt when braking, it can easily be cleaned by applying the
brakes several times until the roughness is gone. If washing the vehicle prior to long
term storage, it is recommended that the vehicle be driven and brakes applied several
times before putting the vehicle in storage.
Note: Parking the vehicle on a slippery surface like ice should be avoided when binding
conditions are possible to eliminate the risk of the vehicle being difficult to move at a
later time.
Important: Service agents must comply with all
International, Federal, State, Provincial, and/or
Local laws applicable to the activities it performs
under this bulletin, including but not limited to
handling, deploying, preparing, classifying,
packaging, marking, labeling, and shipping
dangerous goods. In the event of a conflict between
the procedures set forth in this bulletin and the
laws that apply to your dealership, you must follow
those applicable laws.

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.
