Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX


Dear General Motors Customer:

Reason For This Recall: General Motors has decided to conduct a Voluntary Emission Recall involving certain 2010 model year Chevrolet Express, Silverado HD; and GMC Savana, Sierra HD vehicles equipped with a 6.6L V8 Duramax diesel engine; and 2007-2009 model year Chevrolet Express, Kodiak, Silverado HD; and GMC Savana, Sierra HD, and TopKick vehicles equipped with a 6.6L V8 Duramax diesel engine that may have been serviced with a suspect Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) sensor. The circuit board welds on the EGT sensors in the exhaust system may not be to GM specification. If a weld fails, the Service Engine Soon light will illuminate in the instrument panel, the exhaust gas may not be filtered properly, and the engine power may be reduced.

What Will Be Done: Your GM dealer will replace both EGT sensors. This service will be performed for you at no charge.

What You Should Do: Please contact your GM dealer as soon as possible to arrange a service date and to assure parts availability. Your vehicle's identification number (VIN) is provided at the top of this letter. Instructions for making this correction have been sent to your dealer. Please ask your dealer if you wish to know how much time will be needed to schedule, process, and repair your vehicle.

If you have any questions or need any assistance, just contact your dealer or the appropriate Customer Assistance Center at the number listed below.

Emission Law Information: In order to ensure your full protection under the emission warranty made applicable to your vehicle by State and Federal Law, and your right to participate in future recalls, it is recommended that you have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible. Failure to do so could legally be determined to be lack of proper maintenance of your vehicle. Also, your vehicle may fail a state or local emission inspection if this recall is not accomplished.


IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) requires vehicle emission recalls be completed prior to California registration renewal. Uncorrected emission recalls will result in the inability to renew your California vehicle registration.

At the time of emission recall completion, your California dealer will issue a "Proof of Correction Certificate". Keep this certificate and, if required, present it to the Department of Motor Vehicles when renewing your California registration as proof of recall completion.


We are sorry to cause you this inconvenience; however, we have taken this action in the interest of your continued satisfaction with our products.
