Propulsion Battery Warranty
Policy
Like all batteries, the amount of
energy that the high voltage
“propulsion”battery can store will
decrease with time and miles
driven. Depending on use, the
battery may degrade as little as
10% to as much as 30% of capacity
over the warranty period. A dealer
service technician will determine if
the battery energy capacity (kWh
storage) is within the proper limit,
given the age and mileage of the
vehicle. Typical tests can take up to
24 hours.
Repair
If possible, components will be
repaired or replaced, and the
original battery will be returned to
the vehicle.

Additionally, General Motors does
not warranty non-GM parts,
calibrations, and/or software
modifications.The use of parts,
control module calibrations,
software modifications, and/or any
other alterations not issued through

otherwise affected by the installation

Things to Know About the Emission Control Systems Warranty 33
Replacement Parts
The emission control systems of
your vehicle, were designed, built
and tested using genuine GM parts†
and the vehicle is certified as being
in conformity with the Emission
Regulations under the Canadian
Environmental Protection Act.
Accordingly, it is recommended
that any replacement parts used
for maintenance or for the repair
of emission control systems be
new, genuine GM parts.
The warranty obligations are not
dependent upon the use of any
particular brand of replacement
parts. The owner may elect to use
non-genuine GM parts for
replacement purposes. Use of
replacement parts which are not
of equivalent quality may impair
the effectiveness of emission
control systems.
If other than new, genuine GM parts
are used for maintenance
replacements or for the repair of
components affecting emissioncontrol, the owner should assure
himself/herself that such parts are
warranted by their manufacturer to
be equivalent to genuine General
Motors parts in performance and
durability.
Warranty repairs must be performed
by an authorized General Motors
dealer except in an emergency
situation when a genuine GM part or
an authorized General Motors
dealer is not reasonably available to
the vehicle owner. You are
responsible for presenting your
vehicle to a GM dealer selling your
vehicle line as soon as a problem
exists.
† “GENUINE GM PARTS,”when
used in connection with GM
vehicles means parts manufactured
by or for GM, designed for use on
GM vehicles and distributed by any
division or subsidiary of General
Motors LLC.
Maintenance and Repairs
Warranty repairs must be performed
by an authorized dealer except in a
situation where the vehicle owner is
significantly inconvenienced and a
warranted part or a warranty station
is not reasonably available to the
vehicle owner.
If in a situation where you are
significantly inconvenienced, and it
is necessary to have repairs
performed by other than an
authorized General Motors
dealership, and you believe the
repairs are covered by the Emission
Control Systems Warranty, take the
replaced parts and your receipt to
your General Motors dealership
handling your vehicle line for
reimbursement consideration.
Receipts and records covering the
performance of regular maintenance
or emergency repairs should be
retained in the event questions arise
concerning maintenance. These
receipts and records should be
transferred to each subsequent
