Great news Huskersfan! I have some also, a GM engineer looked at my HDP and they have decided to install the TSB on it. Once the dealer is finished, the GM engineer will inspect and certify the install. I chose a different dealer than my selling dealer and thankful I did. I also get a free loaner truck for the duration of the repair and certification. ;

Attached is another document that claims that the HDP protects cargo from the elements. Clear as mud how this one reads! 17CHSL_HighDesert_FINAL.pdf

Well Said!

I respect your opinion but I believe the design is flawed and not going to stop full court pressing GM to make it right.

Good morning all; attached is the TSA 18-NA-135 Document along with the Chevrolet claim of protection from the extreme elements. TSA 18-NA-135.pdf Special Edition Trucks_ Silverado _ Chevrolet.pdf

Gentlemen; I have a copy of TSA 18-NA-135. Over the weekend I will scan and try to post it. I filed a complaint with the Texas Dept of Motor Vehicles, then followed up with a lemon law claim based on the fact that the HDP has design flaws and cannot do what the Chevrolet ads claims with Regard to having the ability to protect cargo from extreme elements. i also sent a certified letter to the Chevrolet Customer Service center notifying them of my filing a lemon law complaint giving them 30 days to fully repair or replace the vehicle. I meet with with a different dealer next week for them to look at my HDP, if fact I chose the other dealer as I refuse to go to the selling dealer after they were less than honest on two occasions. All HDP drivers need to file complaints with their state DMV and file lemon law complaints so we all can benefit. i will post what happens next with Chevrolet as I am standing firm that they must make good on the HDP, take the sucker off and cash refund the value of the option or replace the vehicle along with a cash settlement. No one should have to pay for any fixes or repairs on this edition.

Thanks for the heads up, it’s a shame we all have to deal with this!

I understand the difference between water-resistant and water-proof. Where the lemon law comes into play is that it was advertised as being able to protect cargo from extreme elements. Go online and google it and the 2017 Chevrolet ads are published with the wording. If you own a HDP, you know from a rainstorm to a washing you will have water in the cargo bed. How can it protect from extreme elements when you cannot even wash it?

I have a 2017 High Desert Leaker. So they released two (2) kits to try to fix the problem, the current “fix” is Bullentin # 18-NA-135. Chevrolet Customer Service told me I would have to pay for the fix as not covered under Warranty. The truck has only 17K miles on it. The reality is the HDP is a lemon and I suggest all who bought these to file with their State Department of Motor Vehicles Lemon Law Complaint division. Chevrolet advertised these as having a water-resistant cargo management system to protect from extreme elements. All the Chevy ads and promotions are still on-line to attach to your filing. We had seven (7) Avalaches starting with the first year of no body armor to the Black Diamond and never had issues like we are having with the HDP. Safe travels to all, victorcharlie
