As a result of this EI and parts review through the Warranty Parts Center (WPC), we have found that most of our warranty claims are due to transportation and/or customer damage and not a defect in material. Refer to published diagnostics and repairs in SI to correct any concern with the outside rearview mirror or glass.
Note
The outside rearview mirror assembly components are serviced separately. If the concern is with one of the mirror assembly components, replace just the components, and not the entire outside rearview mirror assembly. For the mirror glass, refer to Outside Rearview Mirror Glass Replacement in SI. For the actuator, refer to Outside Rearview Mirror Motor Replacement in SI. For the housing, refer to Outside Rearview Mirror Housing Replacement in SI. When replacing the mirror assembly components, refer to Groups 16.068 and 16.069 of the appropriate GM Parts Catalog for part numbers and usage.
The 2010 warranty booklet has been updated with the following language:
