Chronology :
On April 26, 2023, a potential RRAB inflator rupture involving a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze was reported to GM’s Speak Up For Safety program. GM opened a product investigation into this alleged incident. GM’s investigation identified three incidents potentially related to this condition, all of which occurred in Texas while the vehicles were unoccupied and not in use. GM became aware of these three incidents on August 24, 2017, April 24, 2023, and July 7, 2023.
Inspections of the parts involved in all three incidents indicate that the inflator ruptured at the weld joint. Analysis is ongoing to determine the root cause of this condition. On September 13, 2023, GM’s Safety and Field Action Decision Authority decided to conduct a safety recall for inflator production lots associated with the three field incidents.

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 recalls N232408490 (Both Sides), N232408491 (Left Side), N232408492 (Right Side). 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 recalls N232408490 (Both Sides), N232408491 (Left Side), N232408492 (Right Side), 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.

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.

Reference Number: GCUS-3-3035 Stop Delivery Order for Safety Recall N232408490 – Roof Rail Airbag Inflator May Rupture GLOBAL SAFETY FIELD INVESTIGATIONS DCS6679 URGENT – DISTRIBUTE IMMEDIATELY Date: September 20, 2023 Subject: Stop Delivery Order for Safety Recall N232408490 (Both Sides), N232408491 (Left Side), N232408492 (Right Side) Roof Rail Airbag Inflator May Rupture Models: 2014 Buick Verano 2014 Chevrolet Cruze To: All General Motors Dealers STOP DELIVERY ORDER Effective immediately, stop the delivery of certain 2014 model year Buick Verano and Chevrolet Cruze vehicles in new or used vehicle inventory. General Motors has notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) about a safety recall that involves these vehicles. The GM recall number is N232408490. 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 2014 model year Buick Verano and Chevrolet Cruze vehicles. In these vehicles, the left and/or right side roof-rail airbag (“RRAB”) inflators, which are located on the roof rails above the headliner, may contain a manufacturing defect that may result in rupture at the inflator weld joint. If the RRAB inflator ruptures at the weld joint, the compressed gas will escape, causing a partial inflation of the RRAB where one or more sections of the inflator may enter or exit the vehicle. This may potentially cause injury if a person is in or around the vehicle during the event. Parts are not currently available, but when parts are available, dealers will replace suspect left and/or right side RRAB modules. 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 recall on September 20, 2023. This action has been taken to assist dealers with determining which vehicles are involved so they can properly respond to customer inquiries. Frequently Asked Questions Document (FAQs) Attached to this message you will find a document that addresses the 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 “09/20/2023” under Release Date and “Incomplete – Remedy Not 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 are available, the recall bulletin will be released and dealers can begin repairing vehicles. END OF MESSAGE GLOBAL SAFETY FIELD INVESTIGATIONS
