I received the recall notice for the welds on my trailer hitch platform months ago and I am being told by my dealer that the part is on back order. Has anyone else received that same message from their dealer?

I contacted my dealer over 6 weeks ago about the hitch recall. Made an appointment to have the hitch replaced on 4/28. Had to cancel appt.

 

Service Mgr said they haven't received any hitches. Called another GMC dealer closer to me and was told the same thing - no hitches.

 

To date I have not received a written notice in the mail about the hitch recall. Only a notice about the plow harness recall.

Hello - Update on my receiver hitch replacement and other items ( Truck now has a little over 12,000 miles ):

 

My GMC dealer service dept replaced my receiver hitch per recall/notice 15036 this past Friday, June 10th. I received the recall/notice

the next day on Saturday, June 11th - which mentioned the hitch could develop cracks at the weld points over time.

 

I already had removed the spare - cleaned wheel and tire - waxed both sides of the wheel and coated tire on both sides with Mothers

Tire Shine. Tech re-installed spare under truck. A few other items were completed:

 

Multi-Point Inspection & Tire Rotation.

 

Tires/Wheels Balanced at my request - very slight vibration at highway speeds - $34.95 plus tax - Total $37.05 - Only item I had to pay for.

No more vibration.

 

Tech lubricated the rear springs - I had mentioned noise at rear of truck while driving over bad roads. No more noise.

 

Tech reprogrammed transfer case per recall/notice 15304. ( I already had the transfer case re-programmed under recall/notice 14192 back when

the truck had 305 miles on her - August 22, 2014. ) Will have to check and see what 15304 is about.

 

Tech re-torqued rear brake bolt per recall/notice 9101576. Will need to check on this one also.

 

In at 10:00AM and out by noon. Not to bad.

 

Dealer service manager said they are waiting on parts to complete other recalls/notices such as Snow Plow Harness, Seat Belt, etc.

    • Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge. 
    • There are no stickers in your glovebox?
    • Look at the numbers on the stickers in the door jam...
    • Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.
    • After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
