Owner Letter
Owner LetterJune 2009
Dear General Motors Customer:
As the owner of a 2009 model year Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, or Saturn OUTLOOK vehicle, it is our commitment to you as a member of the GM family to provide you with important information that may affect your vehicle.
General Motors recently announced a customer satisfaction program involving 2009 model year Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn OUTLOOK vehicles registered in states with extreme cold temperatures of -5° to -49°F. These states are listed below.
Alaska
Colorado
Idaho
Illinois
Indiana
Iowa
Maine
Michigan
Minnesota
Montana
Nebraska
New Hampshire
New York
North Dakota
Ohio
Pennsylvania
South Dakota
Vermont
Wisconsin
Wyoming
Vehicles that are operated in temperatures of -5° to -49°F, may have a condition in which the power brake assist may be temporarily reduced. In these extreme cold temperatures, the opening of one or both of the power brake booster vacuum check valves may be delayed, resulting in reduced power brake assist. As the valve(s) warm, which could take more than 1 minute, the valve operation returns to normal and full power brake assist returns.
Records indicate that your vehicle is not registered in one of these states, but you could experience this condition if you travel in one of these states while the temperatures are -5° to -49°F. If you intend to travel in one of these states when the temperatures are expected to be -5° to -49°F, you may contact your GM dealer/retailer to arrange to have the power brake booster vacuum check valves repaired. Present this letter to your dealer/retailer as authorization for this service. This service will be performed at no charge until June 30, 2010.
If you do not expect to travel in one of these states when the temperatures are -5° to -49°F, no action is required, but we suggest you put this letter with your owner manual for future reference.
If you have any questions or need assistance, just contact your dealer/retailer or the appropriate Customer Assistance Center at the number listed below.
We are sorry for any inconvenience you may experience; however we have taken this action in the interest of our continued satisfaction with our products.
