Interesting call from my dealer -3 recalls?

Jeff48 · January 21, 2014

They called me saying there were three recalls. I asked what they were. 1 -exhaust, 2 rear sliding window, and 3-communication system. I realized she was using bulletins and recall as the same word. I don't think I'll let them touch my window as I use it all the time and don't have a problem, but the communication system has me intrigued. Maybe a fix for radio reception or at least my android will be recognized through usb.

Mine was due for the rear window as well, along with a couple more including the fire exhaust deal and I forgot about the other. As for the window they had to order the motor it needed but I would think if you use it all the time your probably better having the dealer correct the issue before it gets stuck open or something. I have used it one time and still plan on having them do whatever they need to do while it's free. They did say it takes 1 hour + fyi.

On advise of the Service Manager, I had the rear window fixed even though it worked fine. He convinced me that the issues with the defective units are bad enough to have them put the fix in as a preventative measure, mainly because when it does fail, you cannot secure the window. Most of the time it cannot be closed at all. So I went ahead while they have the parts in stock. My Central Texas dealer did a fine job.

I wonder what the bulletin is about for the Communication system. First I've heard of that one.

My rear window was working fine at least for the few times I've used it. I still had them replace the regulator to make sure it kept working fine when I went in for the fire recall. Why not? It doesn't cost a dime.

My truck's in for service right now to find where water is getting in and I just called him and asked him if he knew anything about a bulletin on the MyLink system and he said he couldn't find one, but he would add poorer than expected FM reception to my service order and have someone check it out. I told him about the number of folks on here complaining about poor FM reception and that I know GM had been contacted by some of their dealerships, so he said they'd check with GM Technical support and find out if they knew anything.

Of course he said he hasn't had too many complaints about poor reception (he said a few: maybe once every six months).

Fire recall and rear window motor replaced yesterday. Took about 90 minutes for the two fixes. No problems since then, before that I had never even attempted to open the window for fear it would get stuck open.

I got a call from my dealer earlier this week about "a couple of recalls" and took it in today. The completed work order actually had five separate items:

13257 BCM COMMUNICATION ERROR - REPROGRAM BCM

13318 POWER SLIDING REAR WINDOW INOPERABLE

13330 ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM CALIBRATION

13370 FUEL PUMP PRESSURE REGULATOR REPLACEMENT

14008 OVERHEATED EXHAUST COMPONENTS

it took two hours to do all of this, Didn't notice anything significantly different on the drive home. I have had no problems with the truck so far, and hopefully it will stay that way!

While waiting, I took a look at a new 6.2L Double Cab in the showroom and noticed that the blue background lights around the radio and fan control knobs lit up when I opened the door. Like many others, mine don't, but I'm not too fussed about it. If that's the biggest issue with the truck, I'll be happy.
