Certain 2019 model year Chevrolet Equinox vehicles may have multiple incomplete welds that join the shock tower to the shock tower skirt on the driver's side front wheelhouse assembly. Symptoms of the condition may not be noticeable to the customer, but following a severe pothole event, the customer may experience reduced vehicle control and handling performance. In addition, if the condition is not corrected, the involved parts may degrade over time resulting in reduced long-term durability. Repair driver's side front wheelhouse welds and refinish. |
| PIC6048J | 2018-12-17. Service bulletin. LANE DEPARTURE; SEATS. This Preliminary Information communicates to the technician that some customers may comment on the operation of their haptic seat during a Lane Keep Assist event.
