Check if your Vehicle has a Recall

Condition

General Motors has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain tri-fold tonneau covers sold as accessories for 2019 – 2020 model year Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 series trucks. The tonneau cover may become loose and could detach from the pickup bed while driving. This recall includes all of the tri-fold tonneau covers previously subject to equipment recall 19E031 (N192217500). If the tonneau cover is improperly installed, owners may notice noise coming from the cover, damage to cover attachments, or cover movement against the truck’s bed rails. The tonneau cover’s attachment system may not sufficiently secure the tonneau cover to the truck bed rails if the attachment system is damaged or improperly installed, or if the recall repair in equipment recall 19E031 (N192217500) was improperly performed. If the tonneau cover detaches from a moving vehicle and falls into a roadway, it may increase the risk of a crash.

Correction

Dealers will replace the tonneau rails and clamps and add a tether to prevent the tonneau from detaching onto the roadway even if improperly installed. If the vehicle was covered by equipment recall 19E031 (N192217500), the dealer will also confirm that the repair for equipment recall 19E031 (N192217500) was correctly performed.

Dear General Motors Customer:

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

General Motors has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain tri-fold tonneau covers sold as accessories for 2019 – 2020 model year Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 series trucks. 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 N192285070.
Schedule an appointment with your GM dealer.
This service will be performed for you at no charge.

GM has updated the remedy procedure for the tri-fold tonneau covers previously subject to equipment recall 19E031 (N192217500).

Why is your vehicle being recalled?	Our records indicate that your vehicle may have the recalled tri-fold tonneau cover. The attachment system used on the tonneau cover may not properly secure the cover to the pickup bed. The cover may become loose and possibly detach from the pickup bed while driving. If the tonneau cover becomes loose, you may notice noise coming from the cover, damage to cover attachments, or cover movement against the truck’s bed rails. A tonneau cover that separates or detaches from the pickup bed while driving, can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
What will we do?	Your GM dealer will replace the tonneau rails and clamps and add a tether to prevent the tonneau from detaching onto the roadway. If the vehicle was covered by equipment recall 19E031, the dealer will also confirm that the repair for equipment recall 19E031 was correctly performed. 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 inspection and service correction time of approximately 2 hours.
What should you do?	You should contact your GM dealer to arrange a service appointment as soon as possible.
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.

Effective immediately, stop delivery of certain tri-fold tonneau covers sold as accessories for 2019 – 2020 model year Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 series trucks.

Do Not Install and/or Sell previous part numbers 84060327, 84060328 and current part numbers 84679033, 84679034 (quarantine and hold all of these tri-fold tonneau covers in inventory). The GM recall number is N192285070.
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 until the defect is remedied.
The tonneau cover may become loose and could detach from the pickup bed while driving. This recall includes all of the tri-fold tonneau covers previously subject to equipment recall 19E031 (N192217500). If the tonneau cover is improperly installed, owners may notice noise coming from the cover, damage to cover attachments, or cover movement against the truck’s bed rails. The tonneau cover’s attachment system may not sufficiently secure the tonneau cover to the truck bed rails if the attachment system is damaged or improperly installed, or if the recall repair in equipment recall 19E031 (N192217500) was improperly performed. If the tonneau cover detaches from a moving vehicle and falls into a roadway, it may increase the risk of a crash.
To correct this condition, GM will replace the tonneau rails and clamps, and add a tether to prevent the tonneau from detaching onto the roadway even if improperly installed. If the vehicle was covered by equipment recall 19E031 (N192217500), the dealer will also confirm that the repair for equipment recall 19E031 (N192217500) was correctly performed.
The parts needed to complete the required repair are not yet available. However, if the tri-fold tonneau cover is removed from the vehicle and retained at the dealership, the vehicle may be delivered to the customer. To maximize storage space at your dealer, the tonneau cover can remain on the stock vehicle, but MUST be removed and stored prior to customer delivery. The dealer must provide full disclosure to the customer that the tri-fold tonneau cover has been removed from the vehicle and will be returned when the remedy becomes available. The dealer should have the customer sign the “Notice to
Customer” document (attached to this message) and provide a copy to the customer. To submit a delivery, dealers must enter a repair order number showing the removal and retention of the tri-fold tonneau cover in “Order Workbench – Deliver Vehicles” screen.
Note: Dealers are to submit a warranty transaction as noted below for vehicle delivery with the Notice to Customer disclosure. Please hold all warranty claims until 4/17/20.

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
July 2020
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 has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain tri-fold tonneau covers sold as accessories for 2019 – 2020 model year Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 series trucks. 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.
IMPORTANT
• Your vehicle is involved in GM safety recall N192285070.
• Schedule an appointment with your GM dealer.
• This service will be performed for you at no charge. You should schedule a service appointment with your GM dealer even if you believe that your vehicle has already received service for this condition. GM has updated the remedy procedure for the tri-fold tonneau covers previously subject to equipment recall 19E031 (N192217500).
Why is your vehicle being recalled?
Our records indicate that your vehicle may have the recalled tri-fold tonneau cover. The attachment system used on the tonneau cover may not properly secure the cover to the pickup bed. The cover may become loose and possibly detach from the pickup bed while driving. If the tonneau cover becomes loose, you may notice noise coming from the cover, damage to cover attachments, or cover movement against the truck’s bed rails. A tonneau cover that separates or detaches from the pickup bed while driving, can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
What will we do?
Your GM dealer will replace the tonneau rails and clamps and add a tether to prevent the tonneau from detaching onto the roadway. If the vehicle was covered by equipment recall 19E031, the dealer will also confirm that the repair for equipment recall 19E031 was correctly performed. 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 inspection and service correction time of approximately 2 hours.
What should you do?
You should contact your GM dealer to arrange a service appointment as soon as possible.
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 July 31, 2021, unless state law specifies a longer reimbursement period.
Do you have questions?
If you have questions or concerns that your dealer is unable to resolve, please contact the appropriate Customer Assistance Center at the number listed below.

Preliminary Inspection
NOTE: For customers who signed a Notice to Customer disclosure form upon taking vehicle delivery and the customer no longer wishes to have the hard tri-fold tonneau cover installed, the dealer is to inspect for NO hard tri-fold tonneau cover package. Close out that VIN using labor code 9105194 inspection – No hard tri-fold tonneau cover/No cover package installed. The dealer is to also use labor code 9105196 to reimburse the customer for the hard tri-fold tonneau cover (previously removed before customer took delivery).
If the original hard tri-fold tonneau cover is still in dealer’s possession and NEW in the box, then the tonneau should be inspected per the procedure here and repair kit installed if needed, this part can be re-used and sold to a customer. If the tonneau has been installed and removed or has been stored outside of original box, it should be scrapped.

Open the front section of the tonneau cover and locate the outboard ends of the front hinge track. If the cover already has tethers (1) installed, it is up to date and no further action is required.
Service Procedure
Caution: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
1. Inspect the vehicle and determine if any bedside rails are installed.
2. If any bedside rails are installed, remove and discard the bedside rails.
3. Inspect the bedside upper trim for any dirt or debris, clean as required.
4. Place the cover assembly on a clean non-marring work surface with the front hinge track facing up.

Dealer Responsibility
All new, used, GM Certified Used, courtesy transportation vehicles, dealer shuttle vehicles, etc. in dealers’ possession and subject to this program 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 program at no charge to customers, regardless of mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership, through July 31, 2022. 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.

In summary, through July 31, 2022, whenever a vehicle subject to this field action enters your vehicle inventory you must take the steps necessary to ensure the program correction has been made before selling the vehicle. In addition, for vehicles entering your facility for service, you are required to ensure the customer is aware of the open field action and make every reasonable effort to implement the program correction as set forth in this bulletin prior to releasing the vehicle.

Dear General Motors Customer:
As you are aware, as part of equipment recall N192285070, the tri-fold tonneau cover that was originally equipped on your vehicle was removed prior to delivery. This letter is to inform you that you can now make a service appointment to have the improved tonneau cover system installed on your vehicle.
Your satisfaction with your Chevrolet Silverado or GMC Sierra 1500 series truck is very important to us, so we are announcing a program to correct this issue.
What We Will Do: Your GM dealer will replace the tonneau rails and clamps and add a tether to prevent the tonneau from detaching onto the roadway even if improperly installed. If the vehicle was covered by equipment recall 19E031 (N192217500), the dealer will also confirm that the repair for equipment recall 19E031 (N192217500) was correctly performed. This service will be performed for you at no charge until July 31, 2022. After that, any applicable warranty will apply.
What You Should Do: To limit any possible inconvenience, we recommend that you contact your dealer as soon as possible to schedule an appointment for this repair. By scheduling an appointment, your dealer can ensure that the necessary parts will be available on your scheduled appointment date.
Reimbursement: 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 condition described in this letter, 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 July 31, 2021, unless state law specifies a longer reimbursement period.

Stop Part Install/Sell/Delivery Order
Effective immediately, stop delivery of certain tri-fold tonneau covers sold as accessories for 2019 – 2020 model year Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 series trucks. General Motors has notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) about an upcoming safety recall that involves these tonneau covers. Do Not Install and/or Sell previous part numbers 84060327, 84060328 and current part numbers 84679033, 84679034 (quarantine and hold all of these tri-fold tonneau covers in inventory). The GM recall number is N192285070.
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 until the defect is remedied.
The tonneau cover may become loose and could detach from the pickup bed while driving. This recall includes all of the tri-fold tonneau covers previously subject to equipment recall 19E031 (N192217500). If the tonneau cover is improperly installed, owners may notice noise coming from the cover, damage to cover attachments, or cover movement against the truck’s bed rails. The tonneau cover’s attachment system may not sufficiently secure the tonneau cover to the truck bed rails if the attachment system is damaged or improperly installed, or if the recall repair in equipment recall 19E031 (N192217500) was improperly performed. If the tonneau cover detaches from a moving vehicle and falls into a roadway, it may increase the risk of a crash.
To correct this condition, GM will replace the tonneau rails and clamps, and add a tether to prevent the tonneau from detaching onto the roadway even if improperly installed. If the vehicle was covered by equipment recall 19E031 (N192217500), the dealer will also confirm that the repair for equipment recall 19E031 (N192217500) was correctly performed.
The parts needed to complete the required repair are not yet available. However, if the tri-fold tonneau cover is removed from the vehicle and retained at the dealership, the vehicle may be delivered to the customer. To maximize storage space at your dealer, the tonneau cover can remain on the stock vehicle, but MUST be removed and stored prior to customer delivery. The dealer must provide full disclosure to the customer that the tri-fold tonneau cover has been removed from the vehicle and will be returned when the remedy becomes available. The dealer should have the customer sign the “Notice to
Customer” document (attached to this message) and provide a copy to the customer. To submit a delivery, dealers must enter a repair order number showing the removal and retention of the tri-fold tonneau cover in “Order Workbench – Deliver Vehicles” screen.
Note: Dealers are to submit a warranty transaction as noted below for vehicle delivery with the Notice to Customer disclosure. Please hold all warranty claims until 4/17/20.

When parts become available, further instructions will be communicated. For tri-fold tonneau covers that were removed from new inventory and sold to customers: dealers should maintain a list of all involved customers to ensure that the recall procedure is completed once parts become available. All registered owners on record will receive notification of this recall.
Tri-fold tonneau covers not removed from vehicle and 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 will be updated for this upcoming recall on April 16, 2020. Vehicles which remain in “open” status in previous safety recall 19E031 (N192217500) will be closed on April 16, 2020. 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.

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 sufficient quantity of parts is available, the recall bulletin will be released, and dealers can begin repairing vehicles.
