Warranty Repairs–
Component Exchanges
In the interest of customer
satisfaction, Chevrolet may offer
exchange service on some vehicle

intended to reduce the amount of
time your vehicle is not available for
use due to repairs. Components
used in exchange are service
replacement parts that may be new,
remanufactured, or refurbished.
Remanufactured parts meet
Chevrolet approved service part
requirements and are made from
previously used components in a
process that involves disassembly,
inspection, cleaning, update of
software and replacement of parts
as appropriate, testing and
reassembly.
Refurbished parts meet Chevrolet
approved service part requirements
and are previously used parts that
are inspected, cleaned, tested, and
repackaged. All exchange components used
meet Chevrolet standards and are
warranted the same as new
components. Examples of the types
of components that might be
serviced in this fashion include:
engine and transmission
assemblies, instrument cluster
assemblies, radios, compact disc

products may have detrimental
effects on the performance and life
of the engine, exhaust emission
system, transmission, and
drivetrain. The Powertrain has been

or other appearance items are

blotchy, ring-shaped discolorations,
and/or small irregular dark spots
etched into the paint surface.
