I have a Jayco class c camper on a 2017 4500 cut away van.
I'm getting the run around from Chevrolet about the lack of availability of a bpm module. My camper is at a GM dealership for over 8 weeks now. I've been in contact with GM customer service and have a case number.
They can't even tell me if they are making the part !! Had the van at another shop for over 8 weeks back in Aug. and Sept, they couldn't get the part and wasn't even allowed to order it. I spoke to that mechanic today and he told me that they weren't making the part anymore and I would just have to live with it the way it is.
I'm not comfortable driving the camper without ABS brakes and Chevrolet says it's not safe to drive.
Anyone hear of this ? Have any ideas, or solutions ?
Thanks
Debbie

You mean BCM?
yes there’s a chip shortage if you haven’t heard of it. Started with covid.

Try wrecking yards or remove the part and find someplace that will repair yours.

Edit: I've used Cardone parts but never their return and rebuild service. https://www.cardone.com/rebuild-and-return/

its mandated by the government they have to make parts for 10 years after the production date. There are supply problems but they can't abandon the vehicle. there are backordered parts and they don't know when the order will be filled...but it will eventually.

I would love to see the legal document that states this.

good read. I can't name legislation; that was my understanding.

trying to get a pcm for a 2006 automatic srt truck was a no go...had to find a company in florida to fix it.
