if he has less than 120k miles, shouldn't it be free if he just pulls up to a GM dealership according to the notice that was just sent out last month?

just extends a warranty on your factory catalytic converters to 10 years or 120k miles cause they are shitty and get clogged fairly often. mine have already been replaced once and they are prolly about to get replaced again, im starting to get that nasty smell again
