Campaign - Hardtop Latch Inspection/Replacement: Overview

Bulletin No.: 06050

Date: January 18, 2007

PRODUCT ENHANCEMENT

Subject:
06050 - Product Enhancement for Inventory and Customer Vehicles - Retractable Hardtop Latch - Expires with Base Warranty

Models:
2006 Pontiac G6

With Retractable Hardtop

This product enhancement includes vehicles in dealer/retailer inventory and customer vehicles that return for any type of service, and will expire at the end of the involved vehicle's New Vehicle Limited Warranty period.

Purpose

This bulletin provides a service procedure to inspect, and if necessary, replace the latch assembly. On rare occasions, the roof latch rod weld may fracture. If it fractures, the latch will not engage. The roof would be held down by the opposite latch but the occupant would hear a rattling sound and/or wind noise.

This service procedure should be completed as soon as possible on involved vehicles currently in dealer inventory and customer vehicles that return to the dealer for any type of service during the New Vehicle Limited Warranty coverage period, at which time this bulletin will expire.

Vehicles Involved





A list of involved vehicles currently in dealer inventory is attached to the Administrative Message (US) or Dealer Communication (Canada) used to release this bulletin. Customer vehicles that return for service, for any reason, and are still covered under the vehicle's base warranty, and are within the VIN breakpoints shown, should be checked for vehicle eligibility in the appropriate system.

Dealers/retailers are to confirm vehicle eligibility prior to beginning repairs by using GMVIS. Not all vehicles within the above breakpoints may be involved.
