If your under warranty bring it in if it's leaking . A TSB is a bulliten that helps tech's fix common issues when diagnosing vehicle's , they are not recall's . The document that is listed above is a Preliminary Information document , it's not a TSB yet . A PI is like advise from GM to help techs do their job .
Sorry for the confusion , I post these just so people can have a heads up so they keep an eye out incase they develop a problem . Most of time a tsb will only effect a small number of cars built during a certain period of time.
