Dealer Responsibility – For USA States, Territories, and Possessions
It is a violation of Federal law for a dealer to deliver a new motor vehicle or any new or used item of motor vehicle
equipment (including a tire) covered by this notification under a sale or lease until the defect or noncompliance is
remedied.
The US National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act provides that each vehicle that is subject to a recall of this type
must be adequately repaired within a reasonable time after the customer has tendered it for repair. A failure to repair
within sixty days after tender of a vehicle is prima facie evidence of failure to repair within a reasonable time. If the
condition is not adequately repaired within a reasonable time, the customer may be entitled to an identical or reasonably
equivalent vehicle at no charge or to a refund of the purchase price less a reasonable allowance for depreciation. To
avoid having to provide these burdensome remedies, every effort must be made to promptly schedule an appointment
with each customer and to repair their vehicle as soon as possible. In the recall notification letters, customers are told
how to contact the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration if the recall is not completed within a reasonable
time.
Dealer Responsibility – All
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
Product Safety Recall
N192263640 Steering Knuckle Stopper Bolt– US Only
Page 9 of 11
required correction according to the instructions contained in this bulletin. 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 recall enters your vehicle inventory or is in your dealership for service in
the future, you must take the steps necessary to be sure the recall correction has been made before selling or releasing
the vehicle.
Dealer Reports
For dealers with involved vehicles, a listing with involved vehicles has been prepared and will be provided to U.S. and
Canadian dealers through the GM GlobalConnect Recall Reports or sent directly to export dealers. The listing may
contain customer names and addresses obtained from Motor Vehicle Registration Records. The use of such motor
vehicle registration data for any purpose other than follow-up necessary to complete this recall is a violation of law in
several states/provinces/countries. Accordingly, you are urged to limit the use of this report to the follow-up necessary to
complete this recall.
Customer Notification
General Motors will notify customers of this recall on their vehicle.
Customer Reimbursement
Customer requests for reimbursement of previously paid repairs to correct the condition described in this bulletin are to
be submitted to the dealer prior to or by August 31, 2020. See General Motors Service Policies and Procedures Manual,
Section 6.1.11 – Product Field Action Customer Reimbursement Procedure (USA & Canada) or local Policies and
Procedures, for details.
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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
August 2019
This notice applies to your vehicle, VIN: _____________________________________
Dear General Motors Customer:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
General Motors, based on information provided by Isuzu Motors Limited, has decided that a defect which relates to
motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2018-2020 model year Chevrolet Low Cab Forward 6500XD Medium Duty
vehicles. These vehicles are manufactured by Isuzu. As a result, GM is conducting a safety recall.
We apologize for this inconvenience. However, we are concerned about your safety and continued satisfaction with our
products.
I M P O R T A N T
• Your vehicle is involved in GM safety recall N192263640.
• Schedule an appointment with your GM dealer.
• This service will be performed for you at no charge.
Why is your vehicle
being recalled?
The jam nut for the steering stopper bolt on the left-front knuckle may loosen and
allow the bolt to back away from the steering knuckle. This could result in an increase
in the turning radius of the vehicle in left turns. A change in turning radius could make
it difficult to make sharp turns. If the vehicle’s turning radius is increased, there is an
increased risk of a crash.
What will we do? Your GM dealer will replace the existing left and right jam nuts with a Grade 8 jam nut,
torque the nut to a new torque specification and apply Loctite to the nut and bolt.
Where a bolt is damaged or missing the assembly will be replaced along with a Grade
8 jam nut. This service will be performed for you at no charge. Because of service
scheduling requirements, it is likely that your dealer will need your vehicle longer than
the actual service correction time of approximately 4 hours.
Did you already pay
for this repair?
Even though you may have previously had repairs for this condition, you will still need
to take your vehicle to your dealer for additional repairs. If you have already paid for
repairs for the recall condition, please complete the enclosed reimbursement form and
present it to your dealer with all required documents. Working with your dealer will
expedite your request, however, if this is not convenient, you may mail the completed
reimbursement form and all required documents to Reimbursement Department, PO
Box 33170, Detroit, MI 48232-5170. The completed form and required documents
must be presented to your dealer or received by the Reimbursement Department by
August 31, 2020, unless state law specifies a longer reimbursement period.
Do you have
questions?

To: All General Motors Dealers
On June 19, 2019, GM sent to all GM dealers GlobalConnect Message GCUS-3-1524 regarding safety recall N192263640. The jam nut for the steering stopper bolt on the left-front knuckle may loosen and allow the bolt to back away from the steering knuckle. This could result in an increase in the turning radius of the vehicle in left turns. A change in turning radius could make it difficult to make sharp turns. If the vehicle’s turning radius is increased, there is an increased risk of a crash.
The message advised that the Investigate Vehicle History screen for the impacted vehicles in the Global Warranty Management system would display the date the VINs were updated for this upcoming field action under Release Date and “Incomplete – Remedy not yet available” under Status. The required repair to complete this recall is not yet available. The involved vehicles must be held and cannot be delivered to customers, dealer-traded, released to auction, used for demonstration purposes or put to any other use until a remedy is available to complete the recall.
This message is to inform dealers who have involved vehicles in their inventory that they can now apply for the used vehicle Working Capital Assistance Program (“WCAP”) for safety recall N192263640. This program is intended to provide support to GM dealers for eligible used GM vehicles being constrained by a stop sale/stop delivery order in situations where a recall remedy is not available. Please review GM GlobalConnect Message GCUS-9-7345 dated February 21, 2019 for current program terms and guidelines.
Before proceeding with the application process described below, dealers must verify vehicle eligibility based on the program terms and guidelines that were provided in GM GlobalConnect Message GCUS-9-7345 dated February 21, 2019. Applications submitted on ineligible vehicles are subject to chargeback of any incentives paid to the dealer under the WCAP. Because compensation and tracking requires visibility into dealers’ inventory, dealers must also have agreed to a Dealer Data Share agreement with GM in order to receive any compensation under this program.
To apply for the WCAP for safety recall N192263640, dealers must access the GM Global Warranty Management (GWM) system and submit a “ZSET” warranty transaction using the labor code provided below for each eligible vehicle. This zero dollar special
transaction type is the dealer’s application for compensation and constitutes a representation from the dealer that the vehicle is eligible for WCAP assistance.
Note: Acceptance of the warranty transaction does not ensure vehicle eligibility or guarantee the provision of any assistance as defined by program terms and guidelines.

To be eligible for the WCAP, a vehicle must be in dealer inventory at the time the related field action bulletin is released. If a vehicle has been delivered, wholesaled or otherwise disposed of prior to release of the bulletin, the vehicle is not eligible for assistance. Additionally, recalled vehicles taken in on trade may be eligible for assistance if the dealer immediately reports the vehicle in used vehicle inventory via its Dealer Management System (DMS) and makes application through the GWM system.
To ensure that GM is receiving daily inventory information, which is necessary to process payments and make eligibility determinations under the WCAP, the dealer’s vehicles must be properly identified in the dealership’s DMS. A daily feed of this information is provided to GM through the Dealer Data Share (DDS) agreement.
Beginning with the 1st quarter of 2019, all WCAP payments will be facilitated through the Global Warranty Management (GWM) system. For each eligible vehicle, a qualifying dealer will submit for WCAP vehicle enrollment with a “ZSET” transaction type and for reimbursement with a “ZFAT” transaction type both through the GWM system. If approved, a WCAP credit for that vehicle will be issued to the dealer’s “open account” similar to any other warranty credit. WCAP submission instructions and the required labor code will also be provided in the appropriate field action bulletin. Each WCAP transaction being credited will be clearly identified on the dealer’s daily credit memo.
In order to receive payment, a dealer must have timely reported the vehicle in used vehicle inventory, retained the vehicle until the related field action bulletin is released, and properly applied for the WCAP payment. The vehicle must also be otherwise eligible under WCAP rules and guidelines.
GM reserves the right to amend, modify, terminate, or cancel this program at any time in its sole discretion.

The driver may initially apply enough force to the steering wheel to cause the bolt to bend or break.
To correct this condition, GM dealers will replace the existing left and right jam nuts with a Grade 8 jam nut, torque the nut to a new torque specification and apply Loctite to the nut and bolt. Where a bolt is damaged or missing the assembly will be replaced along with a Grade 8 jam nut.
Until further instructions are received, involved vehicles that are in dealers’ possession (new or used vehicle inventory, GM Certified Used, courtesy transportation vehicles, dealer shuttle vehicles, etc.) must be held and not delivered to customers, dealer-traded, released to auction, used for demonstration purposes or any other dealer use. All GM Certified Used vehicles currently in the dealers’ inventory within the Certified Pre-Owned Inventory System (CPOIS) will be de-certified.
The Investigate Vehicle History (IVH) screen in the Global Warranty Management (GWM) system has been updated for this upcoming recall on June 18, 2019. This action has been taken to assist dealers with determining which vehicles are involved so they can properly respond to customer inquiries.
A list of involved vehicles that have been identified as being in dealer new vehicle inventory is attached to this message. It is sorted by dealer Business Associate Code (BAC) for easy reference. Your dealership’s BAC will not be listed if none of the
involved vehicles are currently in your new vehicle inventory. A file identifying involved vehicles in dealer used inventory will be published in GM GlobalConnect, under the Service tab in Field Action Inventory Reports.
Question and Answer Document (Q&A)
Attached to this message you will find a document that addresses the ten most likely questions customers may have regarding this Safety Recall. Please use this information as an aid to confidently answer customer concerns.
Until the recall bulletin is released, the Investigate Vehicle History (IVH) screen in the Global Warranty Management (GWM) system will display “N/A” under Release Date and “Incomplete – Remedy not yet available” under Status. This means the required repair is not yet available and dealers should not attempt to perform any repairs.
We are working with the supplier to obtain the required parts as quickly as possible. When a sufficient quantity of parts is available, the recall bulletin will be released, and dealers can begin repairing vehicles.
