Warranty Repairs–
Component Exchanges
In the interest of customer
satisfaction, GM may offer
exchange service on some vehicle
components. This service is
intended to reduce the amount of
time your vehicle is not available for
use due to repairs. Components
used in exchange are service
replacement parts that may be new,
remanufactured, or refurbished.
Remanufactured parts meet GM
approved service part requirements
and are made from previously used
components in a process that
involves disassembly, inspection,
cleaning, update of software and
replacement of parts as appropriate,
testing and reassembly.
Refurbished parts meet GM
approved service part requirements
and are previously used parts that
are inspected, cleaned, tested, and
repackaged. All exchange components used
meet GM standards and are
warranted the same as new

serviced in this fashion include:
engine and transmission
assemblies, instrument cluster
