Yes, there have been "punctured" AC condensers due to rock/stone damage, which apparently should not be happening.

GM is aware; see PI0461 in listing above.

Two(2) SAFETY RECALLs have been issued by GM and NHSTA to address potential Cruze engine-fires problem:

• NHSTA #12V288000 (PE12010)...GM #12081

• NHSTA #12V289000...GM #12133

From Reuters News service: http://m.yahoo.com/w/legobpengine/news/gm-recalls-475-418-chevy-cruze-engine-shield-164915058--finance.html?orig_host_hdr=news.yahoo.com&.intl=US&.lang=en-US

any info available on front bumper replacement??
Thx
Replacement as in damaged...or...replacement as in remove & replace during installation of road/fog lamp fixtures?

If damaged, you have to be VERY careful about the attachment "nubs" molded into the bumper fascia plastic because they cannot be repaired.

So, if any of them were broken during a fender-bender, the whole outer fascia plastic assembly has to be replaced...broken nubs cannot be repaired.
