      Has anyone heard about when the Park Distance Control Retrofit is going to be rolled out for the 2022 Sierra? I backed into a pole a while ago (the impact was less than 1″ from the non-functioning sensor). GM claims that they’ve rolled it out to the dealers. My dealer parts department knew nothing about it. The service department indicated they haven’t heard anything. I’m really annoyed about it. I took delivery in May of 2022 and was told the retrofit would be in the fall of 2022.

      I recently backed into a tree. Damaged the passenger side tail light. Dent to back of truck. No longer a separate lens. $800 for a taillight assembly. 2022 Denali 3500HD. No warning from the park assist. How many other people have experienced this failure? Time for a class action lawsuit?

        Well, despite hitting the pole at very low speed, my bumper needs to be replaced along with the step pad, side step insert, and bracket. Dealer’s body shop quoted $3,700. Plus, get this, 1.0 hour to reprogram the park distance control.

        GM’s defense to a class action will be that we signed some document at delivery acknowledging that the park distance control was not equipped on the trucks and it releases them from liability. They’ll also claim that the owners manual has a disclaimer that says not to rely on the park distance control and always check the surroundings, blah blah blah.

      This retrofit Customer Satisfaction Campaign was slated to roll out Q4 2022 but GM has encountered an avalanche of parts shortages. The campaign has been scheduled for Q1 2023 for some time now, although the only vehicles they have rolled out so far for retrofit is 2022 – 2023 Cadillac XT4, 2022 – 2023 Cadillac XT5, 2022 – 2023 Cadillac XT6, 2022 – 2023 Chevrolet Camaro under Campaign N222375791. There is no Program Number yet for any other GM vehicle. So your dealer will have no info at all. You will likely receive your mailer before the dealer is even aware of the campaign release. Also, there will be a significant lead time on ordering parts for every retrofit.

      Your dealer can check in Global Connect what updates are coming for your vehicle. They cant tell the date but at least some idea. Make when they order your parts they add a spac case

      mjthor, Sorry I didnt get back right away however I ran your VIN and your seats can have the retrofit done however the park assist, your VIN hasnt come up yet for your dealer to do the retrofit. GM is just crushed by the amount of vehicles waiting to have this done.

      Thank you PartsMan1 . Can you help me understand the process. Does GM make parts available on a Dealer by Dealer basis, or how do they determine who is ready to get the work completed?

      GM is suppose to fill the orders as they come into their ordering system I’d bet money they are doing that but just crushed by the amount of orders I order anywhere from 5 to 10 a day for probably a good 2 months

      I’ve waiting for the Front/Rear park assist retrofit since 5/6/2022. I know that Yukons delivered since October 2022 have the module. I do not know why we are being abused by GM. You might email [email protected]. He is the VP in charge of this mess

      So, here we are 4 months after I started this thread and I am still waiting on GM to stock the retrofit. Admittedly, I’ve received a letter stating that I can bring in my truck but my dealer is telling me that the parts are not available.

      GM isnt ever going to stock the retrofit kits because they cant keep up however have your dealer order one for you and your VIN and it should arrive in about 5 to 7 working days…
