GM bulletin PIE0701B
What it saysThis engineering information (EI) closure ends the need to gather further information from technicians regarding taking pictures of decals wrinkling, peeling, bubbling, discoloration, delaminating and/or coming off. NHTSA’s full summary ↓
GM filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Jul 26, 2023, received Aug 2, 2023, about the structure. It names 6 model years across Chevrolet and GMC (2020–2022). 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.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is GM PIE0701B 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 PIE0701B 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 PIE0701B cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 6 model years across 2 brands (Chevrolet and GMC): 2022 Chevrolet Silverado, 2021 Chevrolet Silverado, 2020 Chevrolet Silverado, 2022 GMC Sierra, 2021 GMC Sierra, 2020 GMC Sierra. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
