What should I do?

Welcome Doug. Yes, there is a bulletin to replace the covers on the Ebony interiors for lint. The bulletin is below.

#07-08-50-018B: Excessive Lint Accumulation on Ebony Colored Cloth Seats (Replace All Seat Covers, Headrests and Armrests) - (Jan 22, 2009)

View Full Image
Subject: Excessive Lint Accumulation on Ebony Colored Cloth Seats (Replace All Seat Covers, Headrests and Armrests)

Models: 2007-2009 Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe
2007-2009 GMC Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL
Built Prior to October 1, 2008 and Equipped with Ebony Cloth Seats (RPO 19C and 19D)

 

This bulletin is being revised to provide the field fix. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 07-08-50-018A (Section 08 -- Body and Accessories).

 

Important: Implementation of this service bulletin by "GM of Canada" dealers requires prior Warranty Manager approval.

Condition

Some customers may comment on excessive lint accumulation on the cloth seat material. Darker colored seat fabric seems to show the condition more than lighter fabrics.

Cause

The source of the lint accumulation is not the seat fabric material. The seat material, though, exhibits a tendency to accumulate and retain lint from sources that come into contact with the fabric.

Correction

Important: All seats will need to be updated in the vehicle. Let customers with RPO 19D know that the appearance of the insert material will be noticeably different.

If the customer has ebony colored cloth seats, replace the seat covers (back and cushion), the headrests and the armrests with revised fabric. Refer to SI for the appropriate seat back and cushion cover, headrest and armrest replacement procedures.

Parts Information

Important: Parts for RPO AE7 (Front Split Seat) are NOT available at this time, this bulletin will be revised when parts become available.
