What the bulletin says
Source: NHTSA's summary of the manufacturer's communicationPicked out of NHTSA’s summary below, word for word. The document itself is the record, and the dealer checks the VIN.
Service Update. The Engine Control Module (ECM) in certain vehicles may not properly clear the DTC U1962 (Unable to Authenticate Serial Data Message). If a communications fault were to occur, the DTC will remain set with the Malfunction Indicator Light (Check Engine Light) illuminated even if the condition resolves. Clearing the DTC with a service tool will not clear the permanent status of the DTC which could result in an emissions Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) test failure. Dealers are to reprogram the ECM.

Read by machine from the document NHTSA serves (5 pages), read Sep 30, 2026. A part number is shown only where it matches Chevrolet’s own catalogue shape, an operation only with its code and time, and a description only where the reader got it whole; anything it could not settle is left out, and the PDF is the record. Times are the manufacturer’s warranty allowances, not a quote.
The summary is NHTSA’s abstract of the document, as filed under 49 CFR 579.5. One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page. A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights. Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.
