Garmin GFC 500 owners with GSA 28 Pitch servos PN 011-02927-11 are recommended by Garmin to remove and exchange affected servos, and install -21 GSA 28 servos marked with Mod 1. Garmin pays for all parts & labor for the install.
Why is Garmin offering replacement?
"PURPOSE
Garmin has implemented several design and manufacturing process improvements to improve GSA 28 reliability. The latest update has been added to a consolidation of all past improvements into a single effort we are calling a GSA 28 Service-Life Extension Program. The Service-Life Extension Program allows up to five years to exchange, under warranty, all affected GSA 28 servos for servos marked with Mod 1."


The benefits of GFC500 ownership are on-going! After 3+ years of service we've had no issues yet and applaud Garmin's proactive approach to maintaining their products.

Last week Garmin dealer J.A. Air Center performed the 23034 Rev A: GSA 28 Pitch servo replacement. Garmin provided the new servo and 6 hours of labor to install. Thank you Garmin! See photo below where servo sticker is marked Mod 1.
Additionally JAAC found the trim stop on the trim servo cable touching the servo mounting bracket when at the full up/aft stop. They fixed that at my expense(1.5 labor hrs) which was well worth it. Thank you J. A. Air Center who is no doubt one the top Garmin dealers/install shops in the Midwest.
