Condition
For certain 2006 Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo vehicles with ABS (JL9) and 17 or 18 wheels (NW1/NW5/PFH/N99), a revised brake module
calibration is available that can enhance the vehicle's antilock brake performance slightly by reducing minimum stopping distance on dry pavement. The
braking performance of the vehicle meets the applicable Federal/Canada Safety Standard and all of GM's rigorous internal requirements, but GM has
identified a performance improvement that we want to make available to customers.
Correction
Dealers are to reprogram the electronic brake control module (EBCM).
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 2006 Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo vehicles with ABS (JL9) and 17 or 18 wheels (NW1/NW5/PFH/N99) and built within the
VIN breakpoints shown.
Important:
Dealers should confirm vehicle eligibility through GMVIS (GM Vehicle Inquiry System) prior to beginning program repairs. [Not all vehicles within
the above breakpoints may be involved.]
For dealers with involved vehicles, a Campaign Initiation Detail Report (CIDR) containing the complete vehicle identification number, customer name
and address data has been prepared and will be loaded to the GM DealerWorld (US) Recall Information, GMinfoNet (Canada) Recall Reports. Dealers
will not have a report available if they have no involved vehicles currently assigned.
The Campaign Initiation Detail Report may contain customer names and addresses obtained from Motor Vehicle Registration Records. The use of such
motor vehicle registration data for any purpose other than follow-up necessary to complete this program is a violation of law in several
states/provinces/countries. Accordingly, you are urged to limit the use of this report to the follow-up necessary to complete this program.
Parts Information
No parts are required for this program.
Service Procedure
