The following steps should be taken by a Dealer when one of the above electronic parts requires replacement under warranty or a goodwill policy.

  1. Determine the correct part number of the defective unit. This can be done by using the Tech2® Scan Tool or removing the unit for inspection.
  2. The dealer should then contact an authorized Electronic Service Center (ESC) (ESC locations provided below) for a pre-exchange warranty unit.
  3. If the warranty exchange is a Navigation radio, U.S. dealers should contact the Product Quality Center (PQC) for authorization to obtain a replacement Nav radio. The PQC will provide a case number to the dealer. The dealer will contact an authorized ESC with the PQC case number to place the order. Refer to Service Bulletin # 08-08-44-010B. Canadian dealers should contact an ESC.
  4. Note: The ESC will not accept any warranty Navigation radio orders without a valid PQC case number.

  5. If the Navigation disc is damaged, or cannot be removed, the dealer must also call the Navigation Disc Center for a replacement disc. Refer to Service Bulletin # 05-08-44-024A. Both radios and discs can be shipped overnight to the dealer upon request. The Navigation Disc Center can be reached at 1-877-NAV-DISC (1-877-628-3472).

After installation of the replacement unit, the defective core must be returned to the appropriate ESC within 30 days of the original shipment date, using the enclosed prepaid shipping label. Failure to do so will result in a charge by GMSPO to your dealer open account at the Dealer List Price. These charges are non-refundable.

Note: A copy of the Repair Order is required to be included in all core returns.
