Only the dealer has the info on what VIN’s are affected.

oemdtc,
I just found the same problem with my truck… Where did you find the information on 15829? Do you know how to find which VIN’s are affected?
Thanks

There is No special coverage!!!! I took the the truck to the dealer. Dealer diagnose, pressure tested coolant system found radiator leaking on both sides next to tanks,also will need updated thermostat housing. 15829 Special coverage radiator leak 2014 Chevrolet and GMC Sierra. States, Correction: Dealers are to install a new thermostat and if necessary replace the radiator. The repairs will be made at NO CHARGE to the customer. The answer I was given by the dealer and by GM was its vin number pacific. Let’s see my 2014 Chevy Silverado has the exact same problem as the special cover 15829 is to cover. Vin pacific just tell me that is GM way to get out of repairing the problem!!!!! This is the second time I had issues with General Motors pick ups. The last time I switched to Ford. This 2014 Silverado will be the last GM vehicle I purchase!!!!!

You can always make a complaint with the NHTSA https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/VehicleComplaint/

I think it is not fair a to customer that only certain Chevrolet’s and GMC’s are covered under that. There are two exactly vehicle, same year, same model exact the same problem, but based one the VIN# only one is qualifying for the repair. Makes the other customer feel pretty shitty about Chevrolet since it’s going to cost him around $1000,00 out of pocket for a piece that’s faulty in the first place.
