ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE:TURBO/SUPERCHARGER. 18236 - Special Coverage - On some vehicles, equipped with the LML (DURAMAX 6.6L V8 TURBO Diesel) engine, the exhaust turbocharger outlet pipe may have a bad weld. Smoke may be noticed from under the hood at a stop or while driving. The customer may also smell exhaust gas. Dealers are to replace the exhaust turbocharger outlet pipe. The repairs will be made at no charge to the customer.
PIP5370D2018-09-17. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM. This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician that some vehicle may have an “Exhaust Fluid Quality Poor” on the Driver Information Center or a diesel exhaust fluid warning lamp on or other exhaust fluid quality related concerns. Technician will inspect the diesel exhaust fluid for contamination. Technician should use Service Information for Contaminants in Diesel Exhaust Fluid Diagnosis and use special tool J26568 or EN50422 Diesel Exhaust Fluid Refractometer for fluid testing.
170672018-08-20. Service bulletin. FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL; FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL. 17067 - Product Emissions Recall. General Motors has decided to conduct a Voluntary Emission Recall on certain vehicles equipped with a 6.6L diesel (LML) engine and dual fuel tanks (N2N). Under certain driving conditions, fuel may not be transferred from the rear fuel tank to the front fuel tank at a sufficient rate. If this occurs, the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P2636 will set, the malfunction indicator lamp will illuminate, the fuel gauge will display empty, and the transfer pump will be disabled until serviced. If the vehicle continues to be driven, it will run out of fuel in the front tank and stall. Dealers are to replace fuel line connections to allow the rear tank, in addition to the front tank, to directly supply fuel to the engine. The engine control module (ECM) will also be reprogrammed with calibrations necessary to support this new connection.
