The GM recall number is N222389310. 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. General Motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2022 – 2023 model year Cadillac XT5, 2023 model year Cadillac XT6, 2023 model year GMC Acadia, 2023 model year Chevrolet Blazer, and 2023 model year Chevrolet Traverse vehicles. These vehicles may contain a dimensionally incorrect sun gear inside the transmission. This condition can cause the driver-side half-shaft to disengage from the transmission, causing a loss of propulsion and/or a loss of mechanical park. If the vehicle unexpectedly loses propulsion and/or mechanical park, there is increased risk of a crash or roll-away. GM is currently developing a remedy for this condition. 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, dealertraded, 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.

GM CUSTOMER CARE AND AFTERSALES DCS6510 URGENT – DISTRIBUTE IMMEDIATELY Date: March 30, 2023 Subject: N222389310 – Safety Recall Half-Shaft Disengagement Application for Used Vehicle Working Capital Assistance Program (WCAP) Models: 2022 – 2023 Cadillac XT5 2023 Cadillac XT6 2023 GMC Acadia 2023 Chevrolet Blazer 2023 Chevrolet Traverse To: All General Motors Dealers On March 16, 2023, GM sent to all GM dealers GlobalConnect Message GCUS-3-2864 regarding safety recall N222389310. The required repair to complete this recall is not yet available. Until further instructions are received, the 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 cannot be delivered to customers, dealer-traded, released to auction, used for demonstration purposes or put to any other use. 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 N222389310. 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-9-14456 dated March 29, 2023. 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 N222389310, 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. Labor Code 9800104 Description Working Capital Assistance for Safety Recall N222389310 Labor Time N/A Trans Code ZSET 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 through the GWM system 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.
