GM bulletin PIC6540K
What it saysThis Preliminary information communicates to dealers a procedure to reset the radio. NHTSA’s full summary ↓
GM filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Sep 28, 2026, received Oct 5, 2026. It names 194 model years across Chevrolet, GMC, Buick and Cadillac (2023–2027). A service bulletin is not a safety recall: it is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a condition, and whether the work is paid for depends on the warranty in force. Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.

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.

Every manufacturer communication NHTSA holds for Chevrolet, GMC, Buick and Cadillac, by the number printed on the letter.
Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is GM PIC6540K a recall?
No. A service bulletin is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the PIC6540K repair free?
Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way. Every GM warranty extension on file lists the ones GM has filed.
Which vehicles does PIC6540K cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 194 model years across 4 brands (Chevrolet, GMC, Buick and Cadillac): 2027 Buick Enclave, 2026 Buick Enclave, 2025 Buick Enclave, 2024 Buick Enclave, 2023 Buick Enclave, 2026 Buick Encore and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
