I havent had any problems but I was at the dealer the other day and they told me about it before I got the letter and took care of it that day. It only takes a few minutes to fix. I also got the letter today!

I got the letter today also...

I just got this today too. I'm not too concerned sinice I really don't make it a habbit of soaking the carpet with road salt and water (are they really serious about this)

There was a thread about this recall earlier. Apparently it only affects trucks in those states that use salt or harsh chemicals for snowy and/or icy roads in winter.

I haven't heard of any directly related problems, but all they do is rip out the padding under the unit, to prevent moisture from collecting, I don't plan on taking my truck in or doing it myself, A because I have weather tech floor liners, and B because you would have some serious snow on your boots to get under the seat and saturate the carpet

Got the letter last week and am waiting to go in until I have other issues that they need to take care of. I have no rush either because I also have the weathertech liners so my carpet stays dry.

I got the letter today also. GMC said there may be a problem with my Yukon. Then they listed my VIN. I don't have a Yukon, I have a Sierra Crew Cab.

 

This kind of shakes my faith in GM's record keeping.

Yeh Bowler, my letter said "your Yukon", and I too have a Sierra CC, I'm not too sure what that's about

I got the letter yesterday too. Not sure if I'm going to do anything about it since we only get a few snowfalls a year, and I don't plan on dragging much of it in the cabin with me. If I hear a lot of people saying they removed it and it didn't increase the noise in the cabin, I'll remove it.

I'm curious about the cabin noise issue as well.

My truck is very quiet and rides better than most of the cars I've driven, so I don't want to ruin that. Then again, that'd be a good excuse to upgrade the stereo

A guy I work with had a 09 2500 crew cab duramax. It was a base model with cloth seats and no carpet. He bought it new early this year and paid approx $27k, sticker was approx $35k I think.

 

His gauges quit working so he took it in. His leaked water when raining into the cab and down under the seat which corroded the component they are talking about. They called a "leak specialist" into the dealership and after being in the shop for 13 days they could never get it to stop leaking. He traded the truck in and now has a Tundra.

 

So if anybody is looking at a used red 09 base model 2500 duramax in the Atlanta area, avoid it.
