2011 Chevy Cruze Gets Hit With Spate of Technical Service Bulletins
It’s barely arrived on the market in North America, yet the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze is already the subject of several technical service bulletins (TSBs).
According to our sources, there are currently three individual service bulletins for U.S. and Canadian market Cruze models, which dealers will fix free of charge under warranty. The first of these concerns a potential squeaking noise originating from the front strut assembly, caused by contact between the strut top mount and wheel splash shield during turning maneuvers at temperatures of 35 degrees Fahrenheit and below. Dealers will add heavy-duty lubricant to the affected area to cure the problem.
The second issue concerns a water leak around right rear taillight. Mis-applied sealer could cause water to seep in through gaps in the sheetmetal seam behind the right rear taillight housing, allowing water to pool in the trunk. Dealers will fix the problem by applying sealant to eliminate any gaps in the seam.
The third and final bulletin concerns a malfunctioning indicator lamp and Brake Apply Sensor on 2011 Cruze models fitted with automatic transmissions, which dealers will replace under warranty.
By issuing these TSBs Chevy is agreeing to fix the issues under warranty, while managing to stave-off the dreaded “R” word.

23k on my plain jane cruze ls, never a lick of trouble yet. Best econobox i have owned
So very disappointed in my 2011 Chevy Cruze. I bought my brand new Chevy Cruze in July of 2011 and it is only 6 months old and sitting at the dealership waiting to have a heater core replaced. I noticed a smell and film that would cover the inside of my windshield. Now I have to drive a loaner vehicle from the dealership and make a payment on a brand new vehicle that I cannot drive. If this has happened after 6 months what is in store for my Cruze next?
