Supercede:
The illustration for Step 9 in the Service Procedure has been revised to eliminate confusion on the amount of fluid to remove. Technicians are to remove
0.4L of transmission fluid after allowing the fluid to drain completely from the plug hole. Please discard all copies of bulletin 11008, issued January
2011.
This service update includes vehicles in dealer inventory and customer vehicles that return to the dealership for any reason. It will expire at the
end of the involved vehicle's New Vehicle Limited Warranty period.
Purpose
This bulletin provides a service procedure to drain excess transmission fluid on certain 2011 model year Chevrolet Cruze vehicles with manual
transmissions (MF3/MZ0). These vehicles may have received more than the required amount of transmission fluid, which could result in a hard shift and
reduced fuel economy.
This service procedure should be completed as soon as possible on involved vehicles currently in dealer inventory and customer vehicles that
return to the dealer for any type of service during the New Vehicle Limited Warranty coverage period.
Vehicles Involved
A list of involved vehicles currently in dealer inventory is available on the "Service Update Bulletin Information" link under the "Service" tab in GM
GlobalConnect (US) or attached to the GlobalConnect message (Canada) used to release this bulletin. Dealers are to confirm vehicle eligibility prior to
beginning repairs by using the Required Field Actions section in the Global Warranty system. Not all vehicles may be involved.
Parts Information
PN 55563377, plug, has been temporarily excluded from RIM. A sufficient number of plugs are being pre-shipped to involved dealers beginning January
21, 2011. The pre-shipped parts can be identified with control "Cruze-Recall", and will be shipped from Lansing, MI via Overnight Delivery. After you
have received your preshipment of plugs, if you should still need additional parts, you can order them from General Motors Customer Care and
Aftersales (GMCC&A). Normal orders should be placed on a DRO = Daily Replenishment Order. In an emergency situation, parts should be ordered on
a CSO = Customer Special Order.
