issue RECALL - Fire Risk

[fondupot]

Just called my dealership to schedule an appointment to have this recall serviced. My service guy told me that GM has known about this issue for several months and has been reprogramming trucks at dealerships before customers are taking delivery. He pulled a service record of my truck getting the updated software to fix the recall the day before I signed for it.

 

Before anyone gets bent out of shape on having to take care of this recall...check with your service department first. They might be able to tell you its already been done.

i dont think your truck has been done, i just called the dealer and they said the "flash" will not be released until some point this week

Well if my truck burns down I can sue them. Everything I have read says you can go to your dealership NOW and have it reprogrammed. Meaning they have the fix, they just don't want 303,000 people with trucks all going and swamping their dealerships all at once.

no, ppl going isnt the issue, i already have a service appt for thursday and called to have this added. He said if they get the update they will do it but as of right now at Doan Chevy in rochester NY they do not have the update

I heard about this on saturday. One of my friends was on his way down to pick up his special ordered 5.3 LTZ, the dealer called him and told him to turn around and go back home because they werent allowed to deliver or sell any trucks.

I just happened to take delivery of my new Sierra last Friday. So I decided to call the dealership to see what the current situation was on the recall. I got through to the service department this afternoon. I asked if the recall had been done to the Sierra before it was delivered to me. The service advisor told me the recall had not been performed before delivery because they have not received the updated software yet. He said it may be as long as a week before they have the new software. He said if I was uncomfortable using the truck they would give me a loader vehicle until my truck was updated with the new software.

Just called my dealer. He said the update was done before delivery. I picked mine up on 9-13-13..

I called a dealer here in kc and was told the update will be available later this week. Im sure they are blowing smoke about the availability. They're probably updating all the vehicles on the lot first as new sales takes priority over sold customer safety.

Has anyone gone on the MyChevy.com or MyGMC.com and looked up the recall information using their VIN number. I've gone onto the MyGMC.com and it says there are no active recalls on my trucks VIN.

 

Has anyone else done this seen something different? Like an OPEN recall showing on that?

[diannabill]

No active recalls for mine either. My dealer said that GM knows exactly what vehicles have potential problems (not too sure about his claim that 370,000 vehicles was a small number) and that those dealers would be more aware. And those VINs would show up on the recall search. So I guess I'm not going to worry about it (yet).

 

I also asked him about the 2 cylinder idling and he said that wasn't true. And it wouldn't even reduce to 4 cylinder idling as that doesn't happen.

mine showed none also, i bet if we recheck on thursday (the date they so called released it) something different may pop up?
