208902018-05-21. Service bulletin. 20890 ? Customer Advisory Letter. On these dual rear-wheel vehicles, the rear-wheel lug nuts and studs may be damaged during the removal and attachment process. Damaged lug nuts and studs could result in a loose or detached wheel. This condition may be noticeable during normal vehicle maintenance and torque checks. Customers are being advised to immediately inspect their vehicle's rear-wheel lug nuts and studs for damage and replace them if necessary. Customers are also being advised to continue this inspection as part of normal vehicle maintenance and that replacement lug nuts and/or studs are available from their local GM dealer.
PIP4648C2017-08-15. Service bulletin. This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician that replacement transfer case halves will not be threaded. No additional thread tapping will be necessary to assemble the transfer case as the attaching metric bolts are self-tapping. Drive the bolts into the new case and torque them to specification.
G-1754922017-08-15. Service bulletin. 11243A - Customer Satisfaction (revised expiration date). On certain 2011 model year Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vehicles, two of the four bolts that attach the propshaft to the rear axle may not be fastened to the proper specification and may begin to loosen. This would result in an unusual noise and/or vibration. If the bolts continue to loosen and the propshaft separates from the rear axle, the power to the wheels will no longer be delivered. The engine will continue to run and power braking and steering will not be affected.

This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about vehicles that may have a delayed engagement into drive, shudder at a launch, or the transmission is slipping when shifting into 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th gears. This may be due to loose stator support to pump cover bolts causing a leak at the stator support to pump cover gasket. Technician will check for the bolts to be loose. If any of the bolts are loose or the gasket is misaligned or leaking, the transmission pump cover must be replaced and the 1234 clutch plates should be inspected for being distressed and repaired as needed.
