COOL!!


As I noted before: No Recall # at the lowly dealer level yet that I see.... but it looks like it's coming.

From what I was told a long time ago: Recalls are released to the public first, then the customers are notified by mail and about that same time the dealers get the notice and parts IF required......so basically 9 times out of 10 a customer will come in and inquire about a recall (that they most likely saw/heard about from a news organization) and we get to give them that deer in the headlights look unless we happen to see the same thing they did.

My dealer knows about it but they don't have the parts or the paperwork to complete the recall yet. They said the december date is when DM said they would start the recall process and not actually doing the recalls. My dealer said sometime in the next three months I should get my card in mail.

Tree DR

The dealer I was at today didn't know anything about it. Thanks for the info.

I checked mine. No way it will sag.

I brought it forward

Is there a way to tell what flash the ECM has w/o taking it to the dealer?

FATCAT

I think a better fix for this recall would be to remove the EGR Cooler and all its plumbing to be on the safe side.
