GM bulletin PIT6096
What it saysThis Preliminary information communicates a diagnostic tip for the 110 /120 volt power outlets being inoperative and dealerships should try a battery disconnect to see if the concern goes away. NHTSA’s full summary ↓
GM filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Dec 5, 2023, received Jan 29, 2024, about the equipment. It names 16 model years across Chevrolet and GMC (2020–2023). 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.

There is an issue that is causing the batteries to die. This in return causes the Vehicle to go into Limp home mode with no warning. The "issue" was supposed to be resolved by the Dealer in March 2022. The resolution was that one battery was bad. The vehicle is equipped with two batteries. Each of which is sufficient to run the vehicle.

A complaint is one owner’s account, not a defect finding, and a bulletin is not a recall. Nothing here says this bulletin was issued because of these complaints, or that the repair it describes fixed them. Complaint files on this site begin in 2015.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is GM PIT6096 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 PIT6096 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 PIT6096 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 16 model years across 2 brands (Chevrolet and GMC): 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD, 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
