PRODUCT SAFETY RECALL
SUBJECT: Loss of Battery Charge – Inspect Generator Control Module
MODELS: 2012-2013 Buick LaCrosse, Regal
2013 Chevrolet Malibu Eco
Equipped with eAssist
The service procedure and part information sections have been revised to remove the requirement to inspect the new module prior to vehicle installation. The associated modules have also been removed from the part information section. Please discard all copies of bulletin 13136C.
All involved vehicles that are in dealer inventory must be held and not delivered to customers, dealer traded, or used for demonstration purposes until the repair contained in this bulletin has been performed on the vehicle.
Vehicles that were involved in Service Update 12238 but have not yet had the repair performed have been transferred to this recall. Vehicles that had parts replaced under Service Update 12238 prior to Nov 15, 2012, have also been transferred to this recall.
CONDITION
General Motors has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain 2012-2013 model year Buick LaCrosse and Regal, and 2013 model year Chevrolet Malibu Eco vehicles, equipped with eAssist. Some of these vehicles have a condition in which the Generator Control Module (GCM) may not function properly. This could cause a gradual loss of battery charge and the illumination of the malfunction indicator light. If these warnings are ignored, eventually, the engine will stall and/or the vehicle will not start. In addition, there may be a burning or melting odor, smoke, and possibly a fire in the trunk.
CORRECTION
Dealers are to inspect and, if necessary, replace the GCM.
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.
For dealers with involved vehicles, a listing with involved vehicles containing the complete vehicle identification number, customer name, and address information has been prepared
Page 2 September 2015 Bulletin No.: 13136D
and will be provided to dealers through the GM GlobalConnect Recall Reports. 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 recall 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 recall.
PART INFORMATION
Parts required to complete this recall 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. In an emergency situation, parts should be ordered on a CSO = Customer Special Order.
Note: Approximately 1% of vehicles will require replacement of the Generator Control Module.

SERVICE PROCEDURE
Caution: The GCM Performance Test in the service procedure is intended to fully stress the generator control module beyond normal customer use. This stress, in rare cases, may result in smoke and thermal damage to the generator control module. For the extended idle portion of the service procedure (Steps 8 and 12), the vehicle should be located outdoors, with the right rear seat back down, and with the location of the power pack in view of an observer in the left rear seat during the complete idle portion. Do not remove any trim panels. If smoke is observed or smelled, even a trace level, or a popping or unusual noise is heard from the power pack, immediately turn off the engine and exit the vehicle. Continue to observe vehicle for 10 minutes, making sure event has subsided. Connect GDS2 tool, key on to RUN, and acquire freeze frame data from ECM and HPCM. Turn the key to the off position and disconnect 12V battery while vehicle waits for repair.
Perform the Generator Control Module inspection to determine if the Generator Control Module requires replacement. The inspection will take about 3 hours to complete.
If the generator control module is replaced, it will not be necessary to perform the GCM Performance Test. However, a charging system voltage output test must be performed.
Charging System Voltage Output Test
Complete one of the following tests:
Option A: Perform a DC Power Conversion Test. Refer to DC Power Conversion Test in SI.
Option B: Using the DIC and a voltmeter at the 12V battery, monitor the charging system voltage while a load is applied by turning on the vehicle accessories listed in Step 7 of the GCM Performance Test. Allow the vehicle to idle for approximately 15 minutes.

Page 6 September 2015 Bulletin No.: 13136D
DEALER RECALL RESPONSIBILITY – For US and Export (US States, Territories, and Possessions)
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 under a sale or lease until the defect or noncompliance is remedied.
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.
DEALER RECALL RESPONSIBILITY – All
All unsold new vehicles in dealers’ possession and subject to this recall must be held and inspected/repaired per the service procedure of this recall bulletin before customers take possession of these vehicles.
Dealers are to service all vehicles subject to this recall at no charge to customers, regardless of mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership, from this time forward.
Customers who have recently purchased vehicles sold from your vehicle inventory, and for which there is no customer information indicated on the dealer 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. Recall 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 recall enters your vehicle inventory, or is in your dealership for service in the future, you must take the steps necessary to be sure the recall 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.

Dear General Motors Customer:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
General Motors has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain 2012-2013 model year Buick LaCrosse and Regal, and 2013 model year Chevrolet Malibu Eco vehicles, equipped with eAssist. 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 safety recall 13136.
Schedule an appointment with your GM dealer.
This service will be performed for you at no charge.
Why is your vehicle being recalled?
Your vehicle may have a condition in which the Generator Control Module (GCM) may not function properly. This could cause a gradual loss of battery charge and the illumination of the malfunction indicator light. If you continue to drive the vehicle, the loss of battery charge will cause the engine to stall and/or the vehicle will not start. In addition, there may be a burning or melting odor, smoke, and possibly a fire in the trunk.
What will we do?
Your GM dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the GCM. 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 time of 3 hours. If the GCM requires replacement, an additional 2 hours and 30 minutes up to 3 hours will be needed.
If your vehicle is within the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, your dealer may provide you with shuttle service or some other form of courtesy transportation while your vehicle is at the dealership for this repair. Please refer to your Owner Manual and your dealer for details on courtesy transportation.
What should you do?
You should contact your GM dealer to arrange a service appointment as soon as possible.
California Residents: The state of California requires the completion of recalls on emission related parts prior to vehicle registration renewal. In addition, the state requires that every vehicle must pass an emission test (SMOG Check) every two years and before it is sold. Without the completion of this no-charge recall, your vehicle may be more likely to fail this test. At the time of the recall completion, your dealer will issue you a “Proof of Correction Certificate”. Keep this certificate and, if required, present it to the Department of Motor Vehicles when renewing your registration as
Page 8 September 2015 Bulletin No.: 13136D
proof of recall completion.
