Condition
Some customers of 2006-2007 model year Chevrolet Malibu vehicles equipped with a 2.2L engine (L61) and Pontiac G6 vehicles equipped with a 2.4L
engine (LE5) may comment about the illumination of the Malfunction Indicator Lamp. This may be due to erosion of the mat within the catalytic
converter.

the vehicle was originally placed in service, regardless of ownership. The repairs will be made at no charge to the customer.
Dealers are to perform the necessary diagnostic steps to determine if the catalytic converter requires replacement. The customer should not be charged
for performing the diagnostic check when it is determined that the catalytic converter is not the cause of the Malfunction Indicator Lamp. A labor code
has been provided to submit claims for such diagnosis. Any additional necessary diagnosis and repairs that are not related to the catalytic converter are
not covered by this special coverage. The customer should be informed that any further service that is not covered under the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty will not be covered by this special coverage.
