Consumer Description

Good morning, I have an issue with my 2020 Traverse that GM refuses to fix. I am getting warning lights from leaking exhaust. This is to due to weld defects. GM knows of the issue, they did recalls on the 2018, 2019, 2021 models but won't fix my 2020 even though it is the same issue. GM has a safety bulletin PIP5681 and PIP5681A for this issue. N222385510 is the number for the 2021 recall. The dealership has told me that this absolutely should be recalled but GM will not allow them to repair the 2020 under the same recall number. Thanks for your help!
