![]() ![]() He said this week that although testing encompassed a variety of conditions and scenarios, engineers were unable to replicate the wobble. In July, Larry Milhalko, GM’s crossover vehicle performance manager, told FMCA that the first step in developing a fix was to replicate the wobble during testing. The 2018 GMC Terrain is not flat towable. The current owners manual for the 2018 Equinox will be revised to reflect the need for a charger, GM officials said. ![]() However, just as with 2010-2017 models, a charger will be necessary to keep the towed vehicle’s battery charged. Please read closely the attached service bulletin, which details the complete revised flat towing procedure for 2010 to 2017 Equinox/Terrain.Īs for the 2018 Equinox: GM officials say that because its electrical architecture is different, it is not necessary to pull any fuses. Another important aspect of the revised procedure: An auxiliary battery charger must be installed to prevent the battery in the Equinox/Terrain from losing its charge while the vehicle is being towed. Engineers determined that these changes should keep the vehicle’s electric power steering activated during flat towing. In the revised procedure, it is no longer necessary to remove fuse 32. ![]() The service bulletin says this about the wobble, or instability: “This condition may be caused by fuse 32 being removed from the instrument panel fuse block as outlined in the owners manual.” GM officials said a service bulletin has been distributed to GM dealerships advising them of the revised towing procedure. GM developed the new procedure to eliminate the wobble that sometimes occurs when flat towing these vehicles behind a motorhome. FMCA was notified November 1 that GM engineers have developed a revised flat towing procedure for 2010 through 2017 Chevy Equinox and GMC Terrain vehicles equipped with 4-cylinder engines. ![]()
