Service bulletin GCUS-3-278

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary

15611 - Customer Satisfaction Program. Certain 2016 model year Chevrolet Malibu vehicles equipped with a 2.5L Ecotec engine (RPO LCV), may have been built with an incorrect engine-wiring harness fuse-block bracket. If the incorrect bracket was installed, the underhood-electrical center generator-bus bar could contact the left-front shock tower during a crash, or contact a tool when the vehicle is being serviced. Such contact could cause a short circuit in the underhood-electrical center, which could disable certain interior courtesy lamps.
