A Caution statement has been added to the service procedure advising technicians to use care when removing the heat shield from the power steering
lines to prevent damage to the power steering lines or power steering line brackets.Please discard all copies of bulletin 09334, issued December 2009.
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 remove the sleeve from the power steering line on certain 2010 model year Chevrolet Equinox and GMC
Terrain vehicles. The power steering return hose assembly routes power steering fluid from the steering gear, to a heat exchanger, and back to the
steering pump. A portion of the lines are covered with a sleeve. The heat sleeve is wrapped around the pipes and secured with nylon ties. Moisture can
become trapped between the sleeve and the lines, which over an extended amount of time, could cause corrosion on the line.
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.
