Fuel Injector Special Warranty

[magnusdog]

I have a 2016 Suburban LTZ where I once again had the check engine light come on and had the P050D code.  It's happened several times, and goes away after a couple days, not to reappear for months at a time.  I was going to replace the fuel injectors, but finding them in stock has been challenging.  While doing a Google search for them, I came across this:

GM has issued special coverage on replacing the fuel injectors on 2016-2017 trucks for 10 years or 150,000 miles from the date of being put in service.  The catch, of course, is that it's limited to 13 states.  I called GM customer service about it, because I live in Wisconsin, but bought the truck in New York (one of the covered states) about a month before the date on the service bulletin. According to the very helpful customer service rep on the phone, the recall is based on VIN and where the truck was registered when the special coverage was issued.  She confirmed that my VIN is covered because it was still a New York truck at the time.  I verified that even though I live in Wisconsin, that my truck is still covered.  She said that it is and put that information in the case file for my truck, and provided me that number to take to the dealer to get this fixed.

 

I hope this may be of help to someone else on here.

Those 13 states adopted California Emissions regulations.

So.... The fuel is crap and it wrecks the injectors?

No if you ****** loud enough GM will cover just the parts not the labor.

 

I just went thru this 4 days ago with GM on my Texas truck.

I have a 2016 Tahoe with 100,000 miles that just had the check engine light come on with the code P050D (cold start rough ide)…fuel injectors and gasket. I currently live in Florida and car has been registered in this state since 2021. It was originally purchased in California and registered in California until 2021.

 

florida is not one of the 13 states the special adjustment applies too. When I called the dealership they told me it would not be covered under the special warranty. I then called the GM customer service number directly and they said the fuel injectors WILL be covered. They said it depends on where your car was registered at the time the letter was sent out. Even though I’ve been in Florida a few years my car will be covered because it was registered in California in 2019. The dealership spoke with someone at GM customer service and all is good now…

As I understand it, if the truck is a 2016 or 2017 with a 5.3 or 6.2 engine that has the California Emissions Standard Application, then no matter what state the vehicle was purchased it should fall under this special warranty. I bought it in Arizona. So, is it the patch of dirt it is on or the air we breathe?

Get with it chevy!!! My truck ha 52,225 miles on it. The injectors should not fail at this point!

the check engine light is on. With 2 codes. First one is P050D. The second one is P219A

Should  federal classic action suit be started?. 
Please advise.

Thank you,

In addition to the statement above, I bought the truck New is Surprise, AZ. and registered it there. In the endine compartment on the Air intake, it states that this vehicle is equipped with both the Federal AND CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS STANTARDS! So my truck should then be involved with this special warranty, REGHT?
