So I got a letter a few months ago about this recall.  I took it to the dealership, they reprogrammed the BCM (took over an 1hr). Then about 1.5 months later the truck prompted the update, but I'm in a no signal area and it failed and it says call dealer. Today I took it in and the reprogram BCM again, more than a 1hr again . The truck still says it's not done and shows the recall on the My Chevy app. 

 

Anyone had this same issue?

Apparently someone is supposed to send the conformation to Onstar about the recalls being completed.  My confirmation hasn't been sent and that's why it still shows in the app.  I'm guessing the service folks didn't know that or they would not have done the BCM reprogram a 2nd time?

What? Wait a minute! The GM daytime running lights are supposed to work? Both at the same time? I thought that was a signature item. Like the rattling steering column from the 2000 decade. Kinda like the popping out spark plugs from ford about the same time. And injectors tips blowing in the Ram diesel’s during the same period.

The truck has a displayable record of the updates that you can check.  (at least the recent ones)

It's in the menus on the centre screen. 

 

 

I got the recall notice in the main a week or so ago.

Checking the truck verified it was already done -- about 8 weeks ago.

 

My truck had 4 different updates in about 10 days at the end of August.

Two were on the same day. 

None since.

The My Chevy App is the one I was looking at ,apparently it's only updated by someone at the dealership sending Onstar the information. 

 

The other place in the settings didn't show either of the BCM reprogramming.  It does show the infotainment updates.

They were on the app on my phone too, with update number, date installed and brief description of the change.

 

They seem to be forever messing with the app (or something is wrong with how it is programmed.

At the time of the updates, they showed up on phone app.

Then, for about a month the phone wouldn't show the update history. 

 

As I'm typing, I just checked the phone again -- and it is again showing update info, like it was in early September.

 

 

Press where it says 'vehicle status' on front screen.

Scroll to bottom of page the comes up.

Press where it says "Vehicle updates' - 'your vehicle is up to date'

Next page also says 'Your vehicle is up to date'  (presumably if it has downloaded and update, this is where it can be told to install the update? 

 

Press 'button' at bottom of that screen that says 'view install history'

Mine lists the 4 installs that were done in August.

 

Pressing on one of the updates gives a brief description of what was done.

 

The headlight 'recall' is one of the ones listed for mine.

It shows it was installed 25Aug2023

    • If it has a stick I can have fun with it. When my wife first got her Acura years ago I used to tease her about it. I was only interested in muscle cars. They’re gone now. So once a month I drive the Acura. Every once in a while I’ll take it to Redline. But just normal driving on some twisty back roads usually does the trick. 
    • I went through again with a test light and everything checked out.    I suppose it could be the MAF itself but I've tried 3 different sensors, 2 of which were in running vehicles previously (the one in this truck, and the one in the donor truck), as well as a new one I picked up from NAPA. I would just be surprised if all 3 were bad.   EDIT/UPDATE: I swapped in the MAP sensor that was originally with the 2010 PCM, that made the code for map sensor voltage high Go away, and the map sensor seems to read normal with key on engine off (14psi or so), but it still doesn't run and does the same thing as before.
    • In addition to a cell or wifi connection, the infotainment needs to be enabled to download software updates. That's a toggle within the system settings.   But...if the truck was prevented from receiving updates in a past life, missing a bunch of updates may mean it won't go back and download all of those because they're not available or the system is too far out of date.   If a formal recall depends on a software update, the recall for that truck remains in an open status until it's applied. The dealer would need to apply the software update in that instance.   Most updates downloaded and applied via the infotainment aren't recalls/safety recalls, they're enhancements and usability fixes which aren't critical.
    • Recently I've been getting a message, "New Brake Pads Detected. Reset Brake Pad Life?", But I haven't had the pads replaced and the truck only has 28,000 miles. The Brake Pad Life shows Front 64% and Rear 79%. I select NO to resetting the brake pad life and the message goes away but comes back at the nest restart.   I stopped by the dealer and was told that it sounds like a software glitch that would require reprogramming. Even though I have the extended warranty, they tell me that reprogramming is not covered unless a module was actually bad and needed to be replaced. Simply reprogramming is not covered. So, they want $200.00 just to diagnose the problem. If it turns out no bad module, another charge on top of that to do the reprogramming. If the cause was an actual bad module, everything would be covered under the warranty.   Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Should this issue be covered under the warranty?   Thanks
    • NHT is diesel only, correct.     The GVWRs for NHT on 3/4 ton bring them to the same numbers as many of the 2WD 1 tons.  A crew 4x4 standard 3/4 with NHT is 11,750lbs, a 1 ton same cab/box/4x4 is 12,100lbs.     Hubs and hub bearings are the same for 11.5" and 12" axles.  Housing, diff carrier and ring/pinion are larger for the 12".   All gas use the 11.5" axle, 3/4, 1 ton and 1 ton DRW.
