Dear John,
We wanted to let you know that we discovered an inadvertent error in the EPA-estimated fuel economy
shown on the window label(s) for your 2016 Chevrolet Traverse vehicle(s).
We apologize for this mistake and would like to offer you reimbursement for the expected incremental
EPA-estimated fuel cost. On the back of this letter is a chart that shows you the “before” and “after”
incremental EPA-estimated fuel cost on the window label. We have multiplied the appropriate
incremental fuel cost by the number of involved vehicles you own to calculate your total reimbursement,
which is $750. This amount will be delivered via a check made out to Sample Company. To obtain
reimbursement, please log in online at gmfleet.com/fueleconomyoffer. You’ll need your ACCOUNT ID
and PIN (printed on each page of this letter for your convenience) to log in.
Carefully review the list of involved VINs (purchase/lease) on the following page(s) to ensure accuracy
against your vehicle inventory.
Enclosed with this letter you will find a copy of the legal release of claims, which you will have to agree
to on the website to receive reimbursement related to this error. Please carefully review the release to
ensure you fully understand its terms. Once you have reviewed the release, you will need to log in to
gmfleet.com/fueleconomyoffer, where you will be asked to confirm the list of involved VINs and agree
to the release. Please take action no later than September 1, 2016.

related to, an error concerning EPA estimated fuel economy on the window label of 2016 model Buick Enclave, GMC

over stated by 1 or 2 miles per gallon on the window label and the expected fuel costs shown on the window label to be
understated by $750 for all front wheel drive models and the all-wheel drive Buick Enclave or $1,500 for the all-wheel

published in General Motors advertisements and marketing materials for the Subject Vehicles.
