Description

Corrective Action
Parts to remedy this condition are not currently available. Gm will send owners an interim notification in early october 2014, and will send a second letter when parts are available. At that time dealers will inspect, and if necessary, replace the console storage compartment door inertia latch, free of charge. Owners may contact chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020.
