GM ODC General Motors Overseas Distribution Corporation Singapore 15 Benoi Sector Singapore 629849 Tel: (65) 6594 3600 Fax: (65) 6265 3661 Holding Statement Chevrolet Cruze and GM Daewoo Lacetti Premiere Fix Fuel Hose Recall (Ver. 6 March 8, 2010) Chevrolet will conduct a recall of a handful of Chevrolet Cruze 1.8 units in Singapore to fix a small leak in a fuel hose. The problem has been found in a very small percentage of total vehicles produced. There have been no reports of injuries or accidents due to this issue. A GM investigation has found that the fuel hose in some units did not meet internal specifications and hence, triggered some erosion in the fuel hose. Fuel hose replacements have been ordered and will be installed in affected vehicles at no charge to customers within the next two weeks. The installation of a new fuel hose will take approximately 30 minutes. All customers of affected vehicles will be notified of the recall. “GM Thailand/ASEAN remains fully committed to the safety and quality of our products and Customer satisfaction is our top priority.” Steve Carlisle, President of GM Thailand/ASEAN said. Carlisle added, “GM’s voluntary recall is a sign of the company’s proactive commitment to ensure uncompromised safety and quality of our products for our customers. We will continue to do our best. We regret any inconvenience this issue may have caused.” Q&A Q: What is the problem with the affected vehicles? A: Due to a batch of poor quality parts, GM Daewoo (or Chevrolet) has found that there are some instances of fuel hose erosion in some vehicles. Affected units may not be able to start and occupants may perceive a smell of gasoline. Q: How many vehicles in Singapore are affected by this problem? A: A total of 20 vehicles fitted with the 1.8L DOHC Gasoline Engine are affected. Q: Is my Cruze 1.6 model affected? A: Not at all. Only some units of Cruze fitted with 1.8L DOHC Gasoline Engine are affected. .
