Official summary

This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about vehicles that when dialing certain numbers using OnStar Hands-free Calling, the audio is distorted or has poor quality after performing the OnStar Canada Upgrade. Dealer should communicate to the customer that we apologize for this inconvenience and that General Motors is working on a solution for this concern.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
