Free Brake pads on GM

[ShamrockShooter]

Just read the bulletin 19-NA-191 about the brake pad life calculating too quickly. It says to update software AND replace the brake pads if over 6,250 miles in the vehicle!!!

 

Since this should affect pretty much every 19 built, those early adoters with 10k or 20k miles should print that bulletin out and show it to the advisor for your free brake pads all the way around.

I’m glad to about this

[ejdziurka]

damn! I should have waited.  I just had my software updated, but I only have 4,200 miles.

Not sure if the sensors are in just the front pads or all the pads. I'm assuming gm would replace all 4 pads

Thanks for posting this. Where do I go to find the full print out? I did a quick search and looks like I have to pay for a subscription.

Is there a build date cutoff, or does this apply to any 19 T1?

Thanks. I need my truck updated and I have ~9k miles.

Go to nhtsa.gov and search by your vin, then go to manufacturer communications. You should find it in there with a link to the pdf

If you have say 6k miles and your brake percentage say like 50 % you should be covered. TSB didn't specify a cutoff date only the symptom

A big So What? Nothing is wrong with the pads themselves, just the operating software.

 

Never use that engine killing DIC for determining when to change oil, much less when to change brake pads or air filter. That's what eyes are for not some mindless algorithm,change oil/  filter every 3-4K miles, brake pads when the thickness of the lining is close to the thickness of the backing plate and air filter every 10K whether it needs it or not.

 

 And with current rev. everything in the system including the Nav is working properly so no one will be screwing adding an update for anything short of giving the Silvy the capability to fly like an airplane

I have 11K miles and it is showing 9% front and 17% rear... perfect - more screwage for GM.

Thanks for this. And ain’t is sad we have to even think about printing/taking to dealer just to be sure ? And it’s not just GM either. Many other manufacturers as well

I'm at 19,990 miles... Front 30% left, rear is 62% left. Not sure what they will say, but I don't think less than 30k miles to be a 0% is very good.

All I can find there is Recalls, I can't seem to find TSBs.  What am I missing?
