CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
General Motors will notify customers of this special coverage on their vehicles (see copy of typical customer letter included with this bulletin – actual divisional letter may vary slightly).
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/retailer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.

This notice applies to your vehicle, VIN: _____________________________________
Dear General Motors Customer:
As the owner of a 2007-2012 model year Chevrolet Malibu, 2007-2010 model year Pontiac G6, or 2007-2010 model year Saturn AURA, your satisfaction with our product is very important to us.
This letter is intended to make you aware that on some 2007-2012 model year Chevrolet Malibu, 2007-2010 model year Pontiac G6, or 2007-2010 model year Saturn AURA vehicles equipped with electric power steering assist (EPS), the steering column torque sensor or the EPS motor/controller may cause the vehicle to suddenly lose EPS. If your vehicle loses EPS, your vehicle’s driver information center will display a warning message and you will hear a warning chime. The vehicle will revert to a manual steering mode, which requires greater driver effort to operate at low vehicle speeds.
Do not take your vehicle to your GM dealer as a result of this letter unless you believe that your vehicle has the condition as described above.
What We Have Done: General Motors is providing owners with additional protection for the condition described above. If this condition occurs on your 2007-2012 model year Chevrolet Malibu, 2007-2010 model year Pontiac G6, or 2007-2010 model year Saturn AURA within 10 years of the date your vehicle was originally placed in service or 150,000 miles (240,000 km), whichever occurs first, the condition will be repaired for you at no charge. Diagnosis or repair for conditions other than the condition described above is not covered under this special coverage program.
What You Should Do: If you believe that your vehicle has the condition described above, repairs and adjustments qualifying under this special coverage must be performed by a General Motors dealer. You may want to contact your GM dealer to find out how long they will need to have your vehicle so that you may schedule the appointment at a time that is convenient for you. Keep this letter with your other important glove box literature for future reference.
Reimbursement: If you have 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 September 30, 2016, unless state law specifies a longer reimbursement period.
If you have any questions or need any assistance, just contact your dealer or the appropriate Customer Assistance Center at the number listed below.

Took my 07 malibu in today for this problem was told that my “special warranty” ran out the 1st of this month… how convenient… I’ve only had this car since Jan 26th this year…
If I took my g6 in for other recall work , why didn’t the dealer ask me or inform me of this steering issue 15356 specoal coverage .
Now my wife and daughter car has a problem, but the dealer said they want cover it.due to going over the 150k mls by 1k MLS.
So what I asking is the dealer still responsible of not addressing the possible life threatening event .
