LNF Stage 1 Warranty Information
Written by Corey Mullane Monday, 09 November 2009
After we announced that the Stage 1 kit for the Cobalt SS was out and the mad dash began, we started getting comments, emails and phone calls from people upset about how the Stage 1 kit voids their factory warranty. GM HPVO would never put you out like that and we here at GMTS would never lead you to water only to shoot you when you started to drink. Rest assured the Stage 1 kit for the LNF is in full compliance with your factory warranty and we’ve worked with GM HPVO to make sure your dealers know what’s up as well. A special bulletin has been issued that you can reference to your dealer to help satisfy any warranty concerns which you can find after the break.
The bulletin numbers referenced here can be accessed by any dealer and will officially inform them that the kit is a warranty compliant upgrade. Currently, the bulletins available are only for the HHR SS, Solstice GXP and Sky Redline but the Cobalt SS one is coming out in a matter of days. The bulletins covering the aforementioned vehicles are #ACC09-004 and #ACC08-039. Once the number for the Cobalt SS is out we will update all of those owners here with that number. In addition, once that bulletin is out, there will be a separate notice to all dealers telling them about the bulletin. For all dealers requiring proof of warranty in writing, this bulletin will serve as that proof in writing.
Thanks to everyone for sending us your experiences and concerns and for letting us and the guys at GM fix them for you so that you can have a happy Stage 1 experience!

Man, I know what you're feeling. My dealer did the flash and called me two hours later and asked me to pick it up. Drove home 20 miles and happy with new found performance. Car sat for two days without driving(I don't drive it every day). Drove it with a notable stumble but not bad. Drove second day to work engine light came on and barely made it to dealership. Called yesturday 11/8/09 said they were puzzled, so I'm not sure what's going to come of my wantabe stage 1.

I was disappointed but I called around and found another dealer who will do the flash, so I'm headed there this afternoon. Oh, and I'm going to inquire about the TSB (09126) for the charge air inlet duct detachment issue because my VIN seems to be involved and even though that problem hasn't happened to me yet, it's probably good to get it taken care of with the extra boost from the stage kit.

Thanks for a well-engineered product, and I'm eagerly awaiting any future (street-legal, warranty-retaining) upgrades!

Got kit installed at a dealership who has installed several kits and couldn't be happier. 2nd gear is worthless like first gear was stock and 3rd gear likes 2 to use 2 lanes. Used to RWD and the tail getting loose so gotta get used to the FWD torque steer.

I don't know if they replaced my ECM or not but they got it done with no trip to the checkout, just get in and drive. It seems my situation was unique because the engine light took so long to come on. I drove 20 miles with not problems but the engine started stumbling at cruising speed. Engine light came on after second day and down hill from there. Maybe the calibration did'nt take too well as has occured in some HHR's from what I've read. But whatever, this is well worth the effort because if You get Stage 1 You will be impressed. I think anything that takes an effor is well worth it in the long run because everyone learns from it. The Cobalt SS T/C is a car guy's car.
