Managing the Vehicle Damage

Repair Process

In the event that your vehicle requires damage

repairs, GM recommends that you take an active

role in its repair. If you have a pre-determined repair

facility of choice, take your vehicle there, or have it

towed there. Specify to the facility that any required

replacement collision parts be original equipment

parts, either new Genuine GM parts or recycled

original GM parts. Remember, recycled parts will

not be covered by your GM vehicle warranty.

Insurance pays the bill for the repair, but you must

live with the repair. Depending on your policy

limits, your insurance company may initially value

the repair using aftermarket parts. Discuss this

with your repair professional, and insist on

Genuine GM parts. Remember if your vehicle is

leased you may be obligated to have the

vehicle repaired with Genuine GM parts, even if

your insurance coverage does not pay the full cost.

If another party’s insurance company is paying

for the repairs, you are not obligated to accept a

repair valuation based on that insurance

company’s collision policy repair limits, as you

have no contractual limits with that company.

In such cases, you can have control of the repair

and parts choices as long as cost stays within

reasonable limits.

Reporting Safety Defects

Reporting Safety Defects to the

United States Government

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which

could cause a crash or could cause injury or

death, you should immediately inform the National

Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),

in addition to notifying General Motors.

If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may

open an investigation, and if it ﬁnds that a safety

defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may

order a recall and remedy campaign. However,

NHTSA cannot become involved in individual

problems between you, your dealer/retailer,

or General Motors.
