# Service bulletin GCUS\-3\-796

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

16147 Customer Satisfaction. On certain vehicles, the center high mount stop lamp \(CHMSL\) fasteners may back off over time and cause a water leak, allowing water to flow into the rear compartment battery tub. When the battery tub fills with water to a height of 50mm or more, the DC/DC converter module board and connector are exposed to water which may cause corrosion. If water drains below the DC/DC converter, a resistive short may occur on the printed circuit board which could result in an unattended fire when the DC/DC converter is powered. Dealers are to inspect for water damage in the battery tub electrical components, and replace the CHSML gaskets and nuts \(adding Loctite to the nut\).
