So I got the Onstar monthly vehicle status check email, and it listed a recall for air intake calibration. 

Has anyone had this done, and if so, how long did it take the dealer to do it, just curious.

 

Thanks

I installed mine and had the dealer install the software.  Mine came with a sheet to instruct the dealer to do it for free.  It only took about 10 minutes once they got me in.  That is interesting that you got a message on your onstar report and not a check engine light.  I am really not impressed with the system for the price, there are many other that are much better made.

Should take the dealer 1/2 hour to 45 minutes.  The recall notice is sent out to trucks/SUVs/Camaro with the factory LPO option for the intake.  GM had seen a very large number of them being installed WITHOUT the ECM calibrated at the time of installation as the techs are supposed to do.

I had my 2021 LT Trail Boss in for service on Monday and they completed this recall along with N202316020 - Radio Software Update.  Everything seemed to go pretty quickly as I dropped off at 8:00am and they texted me around 11:00 to tell me I was ready for pickup.  Performance hasn't changed since the recalibration and haven't noticed anything different.

The recall is just for the ECM update that was not performed on select vehicles that had the performance intake installed at the factory without it.

Factory ordered, it is an LPO option --- dealer installed. 

Installing dealer was supposed to update programming when they put the hardware on.  

GM has figured out that enough didn't do the programming part that a recall is warranted.

 

 

 

PDC         LPO, Performance Upgrade Package, includes (5W7) Performance Air Intake System, LPO and (WBC) Cat-Back Performance Exhaust, LPO, (dealer-installed)

 

WBC    LPO, Cat-Back Performance Exhaust, (dealer-installed)
1 -  Included and only available with (PDC) Performance Upgrade Package, LPO.

 

5W7    LPO, Performance Air Intake System, (dealer-installed)
1 -  Included and only available with (PDC) Performance Upgrade Package, LPO.

Thanks guys. I will be waiting for them to do it, and wondered what amount of time I had to plan on.

I was in today for service - they mentinoed the recall - said it took 30 minutes - they were done with truck for recall and putting a rear shock back on.  I was wondering if this was a national recall or just a Calif. emmissions thing.  California wanted to stop the recalibration as it was not "emmission/CARB" approved - so I was concerned it might be related to that and they were going to give us reduced benefits, due to milder tune.

 

On my shock - rear - top shock bolt backed out and fell off - 12k miles on truck.  I heard some rattling and got under there and shock was laying against rear cross bar.  I had not bolt, so I pulled it off and drove home - went to dealer next day - no shock bolts - had to be ordered - took a few days to get.  10 minutes and back in business - but I have never had or heard anyone who had a shock bolt fall off before!

 

I have 2020 AT4 - minimal offroad - just towing to and from - use RZR for real offroad stuff - so baffled me for sure.

I highly recommend this gets done. 2 years ago I asked my service advisor why I heard some light pinging noise during light load at highway speeds. He said it was normal. After the recall was completed, I no longer hear this noise! I am guessing the truck was running too lean under load and has minor detonation. This was annoying enough for me to almost always apply more throttle to force a downshift at highway speeds when I just wanted to slowly increase my speed. Since getting the update a few days ago, I can lightly apply the throttle and I hear none of the pinging noises which used to bother me.

So I take it that 2+ years ago you installed the GM performance intake but didn't have the included ECM update performed?

Dealer installed as it was on the sticker along with performance exhaust and performance brakes. I always wondered if the ECU was updated by the selling dealer.

I just received my recall notice today. I came to the forum to get more info on it. I love this forum.

I had the same concern as others that California may be requiring to "detune" the ECM, possibly reducing power. The letter also stated that I may not be able to register my truck until this recall is performed. Since I am trying to relocate, I was debating on holding off having this done. If the recall truly is to do the ECM update that the dealership was suppose to do when it was installed, I am OK with that.

For real? I had a bitter back and forth with my dealer over them charging me $145 to flash the ECM after I personally installed the CAI... and now I could have just waited for the recall and had it done for FREE? 🤦🏻‍♂️

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      OCI, not when but why?

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
