Copyright 2015 General Motors. All Rights Reserved. Program Bulletin Bulletin No.: Date: 14225 January 2015 CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM SUBJECT: Sunroof Drain Hose Leaks MODELS: 2010-2012 Cadillac SRX Equipped with Sunroof (RPO C3U) Located in Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Puerto Rico, British Columbia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and export vehicles located only in Europe. Dealers are to refer to the General Motors Service Policies and Procedures Manual, Section 6.1.2 – Regional Product Field Actions, for guidelines on handling vehicles that are not involved in this customer satisfaction program but may be displaying the same condition. THIS PROGRAM IS IN EFFECT UNTIL JANUARY 31, 2017. CONDITION Certain 2010-2012 model year Cadillac SRX vehicles equipped with a sunroof (RPO C3U) may have a condition in which the vehicle’s sunroof drain hose material may shrink due to changing environmental conditions. If hose shrinkage occurs, it may result in the drain hoses detaching from the dash or sunroof module which would allow sunroof drain water to leak into the vehicle interior. Water leaked into the vehicle interior may damage interior components, including wiring, electronic modules, the sound deadener and carpet. CORRECTION Dealers are to replace the front sunroof drain hoses. VEHICLES INVOLVED All involved vehicles are identified by Vehicle Identification Number on the Investigate Vehicle History screen in GM Global Warranty Management system. Dealership service personnel should always check this site to confirm vehicle involvement prior to beginning any required inspections and/or repairs. It is important to routinely use this tool to verify eligibility because not all similar vehicles may be involved regardless of description or option content. Page 2 January 2015 Bulletin No.: 14225 For dealers with involved vehicles, a listing with involved vehicles containing the complete vehicle identification number, customer name, and address information has been prepared and will be provided to US and Canadian dealers through the GM GlobalConnect Recall Reports, or sent directly to export dealers. Dealers will not have a report available if they have no involved vehicles currently assigned. 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 program 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 program. PART INFORMATION Parts required to complete this program are to be obtained from General Motors Customer Care and Aftersales (GMCC&A). Please refer to your “involved vehicles listing” before ordering parts. Normal orders should be placed on a DRO = Daily Replenishment Order.

If a reimbursement request is denied, the dealer MUST provide the customer with a clear and concise explanation, in writing, as to why the request was denied. The bottom portion of the Customer Reimbursement Request Form may be used for this purpose. If the denial was due to missing documents, the customer can resubmit the request when the missing documents are obtained, as long as it is still within the allowed reimbursement period.

COURTESY TRANSPORTATION – For US and Canada The General Motors Courtesy Transportation program is intended to minimize customer inconvenience when a vehicle requires a repair that is covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranties. The availability of courtesy transportation to customers whose vehicles are within the warranty coverage period and involved in a product program is very important in maintaining customer satisfaction. Dealers are to ensure that these customers understand that shuttle service or some other form of courtesy transportation is available and will be provided at no charge. Dealers should refer to the General Motors Service Policies and Procedures Manual for Courtesy Transportation guidelines. Page 7 January 2015 Bulletin No.: 14225 WARRANTY TRANSACTION INFORMATION Submit a transaction using the table below. All transactions should be submitted as a ZFAT transaction type, unless noted otherwise.

DEALER PROGRAM RESPONSIBILITY Dealers are to service all vehicles subject to this program at no charge to customers, regardless of mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership, through January 31, 2017. Customers who have recently purchased vehicles sold from your vehicle inventory, and for which there is no customer information indicated on the involved vehicle 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. Program 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 program enters your vehicle inventory, or is in your facility for service through January 31, 2017, you must take the steps necessary to be sure the program correction has been made before selling or releasing the vehicle. 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.
