Retracting a recall on certain vehicles
Date: October 9, 2009
Subject: 09041A / 09077A – Noncompliance Recalls
Shift Lever Indicator May Not Display Correct Gear
Retraction Letter Mailed to Certain Customers
Models: 2009 Buick Enclave
2009 Chevrolet Cobalt, HHR, Malibu, Traverse
2009 GMC Acadia
2009 Pontiac G5, G6
2009 Saturn AURA, OUTLOOK
To: All Buick, Chevrolet, GMC, Pontiac Dealers and Saturn Retailers
Attention: Service Manager and Warranty Administrator
General Motors released Noncompliance Recalls 09041 and 09077 in March 2009 and July 2009 respectively. They were both subsequently amended to expand the involved vehicle population and update other important information. These changes were comprehended in Bulletin 09041A and Bulletin 09077A which remain active and available in eSI. The purpose of this message is to advise of another adjustment to these field actions.
Upon further investigation, we have determined that certain vehicles originally included in these recalls were not built with the shift cable assembly that is being recalled. Consequently, recall notification letters were erroneously sent to those customers. Approximately 8,000 customers are affected.
To correct this situation, we are mailing a retraction letter to each customer on October 8, 2009. The letter explains our mistake and that the shift cable assembly in their vehicle is no longer suspect. It also apologizes for any inconvenience or concern our error may have caused. A generic copy of the letter is attached to this message for your immediate reference.
Additionally, the corresponding recall information displayed in GMVIS has also been modified to show a “closed” status (with no associated paid claim) for each vehicle affected by this error unless, of course, the recall repair was completed prior to this manual correction.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The purpose of this bulletin is to address the unique differences in Body Control Module (BCM) functionality of the affected vehicles. Many electrical functions on these vehicles do not directly involve the BCM, even though they may on other vehicles. The cooling fans, for example, are controlled by the engine control module (ECM) on the Malibu, but are controlled by the BCM on the Impala. The BCM is primarily a gateway between the high- and low-speed GMLAN serial data buses on the above listed vehicles.
Functions That Do Not Involve the BCM
The following list of features and functions are not controlled or dependent on the BCM:
Important: The BCM should NOT be replaced for conditions in these areas.
• Cooling fans
• Clock display
• Radio display
• Power mirrors
• OnStar®
• Rear wiper (on Malibu Maxx)
• Warning lamps
• Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)
• Driver seat belt reminder light and chime
• Power windows
Important: The BCM also acts as a power distribution center and may provide a fused battery feed to the modules that actually do control the above functions.
Do not assume a similar control module issue will apply to different vehicle lines. Refer to SI for the appropriate description and operation and diagnostic information.

This condition may be caused by a camshaft cap that is not sealed correctly to the cylinder head, causing oil to leak out.
Correction
Verify the customer's concern.
Remove the fuel pump. Refer to Fuel Pump Removal in SI.
Remove the camshaft cover. Refer to Camshaft Cover Removal in SI.
Remove the camshaft cap (1). Remove all excess sealing material from both surfaces.
Note: It is critical during installation to ensure the bearing rear cap and cylinder head alignment is correct and the mating surfaces are flush.
• Ensure that all sealing material has been removed from the components and the sealing surfaces are clean and free of contamination prior to applying the sealer.
• Install and align the rear cap within 20 minutes of applying the sealer.
Apply a 2.5 mm (0.1 in) bead of sealer, GM P/N 12378521 (in Canada, use P/N 88901148) to the cylinder head at the number 6 intake camshaft rear cap mating surface.
Note: Apply the sealer to all locations centrally locating the bead on the rail.
• Run the bead to 5 mm (0.2 in), dimension "a", as shown.
• Where the cap ends on the perimeter rail, extend bead approximately 4 mm (0.2 in) beyond edge of cap.
• Run bead, dimension "c", 32 mm (1.3 in) from the edge of the cylinder head as shown.
• Run bead, dimension "b", 20 mm (0.8 in) from edge of cylinder head as shown.
Install the number 6 intake camshaft rear cap.
6.1. Tighten the cap bolts evenly to 5 N·m(44 lb in).
6.2. Tighten the cap bolts evenly to 10 N·m(89 lb in).
6.3. Back the cap bolts out 120 degrees.
6.4. Tighten the cap bolts evenly a final pass to 10 N·m(89 lb in).
Install the camshaft cover and gasket, GM P/N 12609291. Refer to Camshaft Cover Installation in SI.
Install the fuel pump. Refer to Fuel Pump Installation in SI.
