2005-2006 Cadillac CTS, STS

THE LABOR TIME IN THIS BULLETIN IS BEING REVISED. PLEASE DISCARD ALL COPIES OF BULLETIN 05111, ISSUED MARCH 2006.
Condition
General Motors has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain 2005-2006 Cadillac CTS and STS vehicles. Some of
these vehicles have a condition where fuel stops flowing to the engine even though the fuel gauge indicates approximately 1/8 tank of gas in the vehicle.
The Fuel Level Low indicator does not illuminate and the warning chime does not activate. If this were to occur, the vehicle would stop running due to
inadequate fuel supply.
Correction
Dealers are to reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM).
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 20005-2006 Cadillac CTS and STS vehicles 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 US and Canada: 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.
For Export: For dealers with involved vehicles, a Campaign Initiation Detail Report containing the complete vehicle identification number, customer
name and address data has been prepared, and is being furnished to involved dealers. Dealers will not receive a report with the recall bulletin 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 recall 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 recall.
