2021 General Motor's Vehicles With Turbo 2.0L Engine Get Extended Evaporative Emissions Purge Pump Warranty
A Special Coverage Bulletin (warranty extension) regarding an issue with the evaporative emissions purge pump has been issued by General Motors and impacts an exceptionally large number of 2021 model year GM vehicles.
What is a Special Coverage Bulletin?
Valero Law, APC wrote about how sometimes manufacturers will issue Secret Warranties. Even Consumer Reports wrote about them here. They’re free if you own the vehicle. Generally, the manufacturer won’t let tell you about it, mainly because they don’t want to pay the extra money for the engine or transmission they have to replace at no cost to the consumer, but they still issue them in case someone goes to the dealership with a busted component, and they’ve noticed that they’ve been failing (drastically) and prematurely.
What Is this Special Coverage Bulletin About?
Under Special Coverage Bulletin N242441120, a number of Chevrolet , GMC, Buick, and Cadillac vehicles with the turbocharged 2.0L I4 LSY gasoline engine may be susceptible to an evaporative emissions purge pump failure. If that occurs, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set and the Malfunction Indicator Lamp, often known as the Check Engine Light, will illuminate. Certified GM technicians are required to assess the impacted vehicles and replace the evaporative emissions purge pump as needed, at no cost, in order to resolve this issue.
Which vehicles are impacted?
The GM Special Coverage Bulletin Warranty Extension applies to anyone who purchased or leased any 2021 Chevrolet, GMC, Buick (see also Buick lemon law) or Cadillac equipped with the turbocharged 2.0L I4 LSY gasoline engine and include the following cars:

2021 Buick Envision
2021 Cadillac CT4
