Subject: 09121B Positive Battery Cable Routing - Reroute
Models:
2010 Chevrolet Camaro

Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to clarify the description of repairs in the Claim Information section and to remove the temporary fix previously available
as a service option. Please discard all copies of bulletin 09121A, issued May 2009.
GM will be calling customers of sold vehicles and requesting them not to drive their vehicle. Dealers are to provide customers with courtesy
transportation and, if requested, assist with vehicle transport to the dealership.
The engine wiring harness tape (Elliott EG190) required for the service procedure is not available through GMSPO at this time. Tape was shipped from
the Warranty Parts Center at no charge to dealers via UPS Overnight Delivery Attention: Parts Manager, beginning Tuesday, May 5, 2009. Since all
dealers should now have the tape, the temporary fix in the previous bulletin is no longer an option and has been removed from this bulletin.
TO AVOID BATTERY POSITIVE STARTER CABLE DAMAGE, WRAP THE BATTERY POSITIVE STARTER CABLE WITH THE
PROTECTIVE TAPES SPECIFIED IN THIS BULLETIN. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER TAPE TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR.
Condition
General Motors has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain 2010 model year Chevrolet Camaro vehicles equipped
with a V8 engine. Some of these vehicles have a condition in which the positive battery cable may contact the starter motor housing and cause wear on
the cable insulation. If the insulation wears through to the cable, it could create a short. A short could result in a no start condition, cause the vehicle to
stall without the ability to restart, or result in an engine compartment fire.
Correction
Dealers are to reroute the positive battery cable to ensure adequate clearance.
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 2010 model year Chevrolet Camaro vehicles equipped with a V8 engine, and included in the report attached to the GM
