Summary
Certain vehicles operated in areas of heavy road de-icing material usage (Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland & Labrador) may experience excessive corrosion in the vicinity of the left or right forward mounting point bracket for the rear suspension lower link, prior to the time that such corrosion would normally be expected. In certain cases, excessive corrosion in this vicinity may result in the left or right rear suspension lower link bracket becoming detached from the frame, which can affect vehicle handling and potentially cause a crash resulting in property damage or personal injury. Correction: Inspection and repairs will be provided free of charge for vehicles that are ten years old or less. For vehicles over ten years old, GM of Canada will offer the same free remedy, but only if the vehicle is presented to a GM dealer no later than twelve (12) months after the owner notification letter mailing date.
Summary
Certain vehicles fail to conform to CMVSS 135 "Passenger Car Brake System". The brake warning lamp may not illuminate in the event of decreased brake fluid level. Correction: Dealer will replace the current brake fluid warning circuit diode with a newly designed diode.
Summary
On certain vehicles, a fuel return hose may not contain the desired ozone protection which could result in the hose having a reduced life expectancy. Over time, the hose may deteriorate and leak fuel. Correction: Dealers will inspect the fuel return hose date code and replace the hose if required.

Remedy
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE REAR SUSPENSION LOWER LINK BRACKET AREA. FOR VEHICLES IN WHICH LITTLE OR NO CORROSION IS FOUND, THE AREA WILL BE TREATED WITH AN ANTI-CORROSIVE COMPOUND.

Summary

Potential Consequence
