Summary
18209 – Service Update. Certain vehicles equipped with a 1.6L diesel engine (RPO LH7), may have been built with an improper alignment of the clamp/gasket assembly connecting the turbocharger to the catalytic converter. This condition may cause a diesel exhaust leak and/or smoke from the underhood area of the vehicle. In addition, a check engine indicator may set with diagnostic trouble code P0421. Dealers are to inspect and replace the turbocharger to catalytic converter clamp/gasket as necessary.

Condition | Certain 2018 model year Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain vehicles equipped with a 1.6L diesel engine (RPO LH7), may have been built with an improper alignment of the clamp/gasket assembly connecting the turbocharger to the catalytic converter. This condition may cause a diesel exhaust leak and/or smoke from the underhood area of the vehicle. In addition, a check engine indicator may set with diagnostic trouble code P0421. |
Correction | Dealers are to inspect and replace the turbocharger to catalytic converter clamp/gasket as necessary. |

It is estimated that less than 1% involved vehicles will require parts replaced. Due to the small number of vehicles anticipated that will need this fix and the limited initial parts availability, dealers are encouraged not to order these parts for use as shelf stock.
Reminder: Parts may be removed from Retail Inventory Management (RIM). Dealers should review the affected parts to confirm RIM managed status. Parts may have quantity limiters in effect.
Warranty Information
Labor Operation | Description | Labor Time | Trans. Type | Net Item |
9103921 | Inspect Only – No Further Action Required | 0.2 | ZFAT | N/A |
9103922 | Clamp Realignment (without catalytic converter removal) | 0.4 | ZFAT | N/A |
9103923 | Clamp Realignment or Replacement (with catalytic converter removal) | 0.9 | ZFAT | N/A |
Service Procedure
- Remove the turbo heat shield. Refer to Turbocharger Heat Shield Replacement in SI.
- Inspect the clamp between the turbocharger and the catalytic converter with the vehicle running.
- If the clamp is properly aligned (1) and there is NO smell of diesel exhaust, no further action is required. Reinstall the turbocharger heat shield.
Note: It may be necessary to remove the catalytic converter to reposition the clamp if the clamp has seized due to heat or corrosion.
- If the clamp is misaligned (2) OR you can smell diesel exhaust, reposition the clamp if it is undamaged. If the clamp is damaged, replace the clamp. Refer to Catalytic Converter Removal in SI.
Dealer Responsibility
Dealers must take the steps necessary to ensure that the service update correction has been made to all involved vehicles in dealer inventory before selling or dealer-trading the vehicle, but no later than June 30, 2019.
All new, used, GM Certified Used, courtesy transportation vehicles, dealer shuttle vehicles, etc. in dealers’ possession and subject to this bulletin must be held and inspected/repaired per the service procedure of this bulletin before customers take possession of these vehicles. Involved vehicles must be held and not delivered to customers, dealer-traded, released to auction, used for demonstration, or any other purpose.
All GM Certified Used vehicles currently in the dealers’ inventory within the Certified Pre-Owned Inventory System (CPOIS) will be de-certified and must be held and remedied per the service procedure in this bulletin. Upon submitting an accepted/paid warranty transaction in the Global Warranty Management (GWM) system, the vehicle can be re-certified for sale within the CPOIS system, or once again be used in the CTP program.

- Prime Guard DEF is a safe, environmentally friendly solution for Selective Catalytic Reduction
- Diesel Exhaust Fluid is sprayed into the diesel exhaust streams of diesel engines to lower the concentration of nitrogen oxide, NOx, in emissions
- Engineered for use in Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems on diesel engines, BlueDEF diesel exhaust fluid is comprised of a high-purity synthetic urea and deionized water mixture that improves emissions and fuel economy
- When injected into the exhaust stream with a specialized dosing module, BlueDEF's water vaporzies, leaving ammonia molecules en route to the catalytic converter; once there, it converts NOx molecules into harmless nitrogen and water vapor - making for cleaner emissions
- To ensure Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) performance, diesel exhaust fluids must adhere to the ISO 22241 standards
- Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is made with 32.5% urea, (NH2)2CO, and 67.5% deionized water. Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is non-toxic and safe to handle, but it can corrode some metals, so it must be stored and transported carefully
- Blue Def DEF002-2PK Diesel Exhaust Fluid, 2.5 Gallon, 2 Pack
- Mixture of 32.5 percent high purity synthetic urea and 67.5 percent deionized water
- Helps convert nitrogen oxide into harmless nitrogen gas and water vapor for cleaner emissions
- Improves fuel economy by up to 5 percent
- Inject the fluid into your exhaust stream with a specialized dosing module
- Stable, colorless, odorless, and meets ISO standards 22241 for purity and composition
- Meets GM Original Equipment specifications to be approved for use in GM vehicles as well as in non-GM diesel vehicles that have an SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system to meet regulated NOx emissions (Based on EPA certification testing. Your actual emissions will vary based on several factors including temperature, terrain, and driving conditions).
- High quality formula is made from high purity urea and deionized water.
- Meets API regulations and ISO 22241 standard for purity and concentration
- Nozzles sold separately
- Ensures that your diesel engine operates at its best fuel efficiency by reducing NOx emissions. Helps to maintain optimum fuel economy and reduces fuel consumption
- By reducing NOx emissions, this fluid helps to protect the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system from damage, which can lead to costly repairs
- Helps to sustain the life of your SCR system by reducing deposits and buildup that can lead to clogging or malfunctioning of the system
- Compatible with all diesel SCR systems, a versatile choice for a wide range of diesel engine users. Used in heavy-duty trucks, buses, and other diesel-powered vehicles
- Meets or exceed the strictest OEM standards for quality and performance. Conforms to the ISO-22241-1 specification for DEF. An American Petroleum Institute (API) certified diesel exhaust fluid
