I am looking at the bulletins/campaigns in the system and there is none that refers to the brakes in any fashion.

This is the oil plug one.
#08200: Customer Satisfaction - Engine Oil Pan Drain Plug Thread Insert Loose or Damaged-Inspect/Install New Insert - (Jun 25, 2008)

Its 08200

The other number you refer to isn't there and I've looked at all issued items for the last six weeks. I don't know how you could have a bulletin if we at GM engineering don't have one published yet for a brake issue??

 

Well Mr. "My dad works for GM and I know it all" most recalls are found by multiple warranty jobs submitted, that raises the brow for GM to investigate....... meaning its only a matter of time and some people might be riding around with slightly warped rotors already.

My point... think outside the box

 

If I find anything out I'll let you guys know.

 

Ugh well I'm just not gonna do anything till Monday, it'll be sitting in a nice garage until then hopefully by then this recall be verified and I'll have something in the mail.

 

Not all cars will have the problem right? I mean if there doesn't appear to be a problem there's no need to replace anything correct?

Rissa this is correct.
Theres Recalls: These are safety related items mandated by NHTSA
Theres Bulletins: Details the correction for an issue resolved by a new or improved part.
And Customer satisfaction campaigns: Usually to correct a quality spill (ie like the drain plug issue)

 

Oh the recall is real, the only thing is some people hear about it before others and confuse the situation. I would say don't worry about it since your car will be garaged, and not driven, have a good time, get wasted/drunk/crunked what ever you want, and by no means think about the recall on your vacation!!!!!!!!!!!

 

That is a given...

But for everyone who has not experienced problems, they would prefer that they be fixed before an issue occurs...

Nothing you stated there was incorrect...just irrelevant...

If you read the whole thread, you will see other guys that work for GM that have the same thing to say that I do...if it applies to your car...go get it fixed...they don't need to check for a problem...they will replace them if your VIN qualifies...

 

I know it's real I just want 100% confirmation before I go bugging the dealer to check every little thing. I have a tendency to make sure EVERYTHING is perfect, especially with my car.

 

Even if you took your car in to have them rotate your tires or replace your windshield wipers...even the smallest thing...they would run your VIN to see if there are any service bulletins out there...they are asked to do all work every time the car comes in...

 

No harm in that....

 

Yeah my oil change isn't due for another 4k miles[according to onstar lol] so that will be too late to take it in, looks like Monday or sometime next week it is!

 

I already told all the info that is on the bulletin, it is out there you just don't have access to it.

 

I went ahead and took mine in with 80% oil life left...it never hurts to do the first one early...especially when GM is paying for it!

I like this guy...everyone gets all over my back when I get info from my Dad and think I'm making it up. It is nice to know that there are other GM guys out there who actually know what they are talking about...

 

Rissa sent you a confirmation back that your vehicle is under the same notice

 

Yeah it's at 67% right now, probably just gonna do that soonish anyway and have them look at it, I'll print out that notice too and be like ummm fix this please haha.

 

i knew you were telling the truth yesterday, i checked with my warranty admin and he had the same e-mail that your dad got, some people just like to think they know what is going on with GM

 

Actually how the recall is found is relevant.

 

Trevmo
I do see the 242 but I don't know what its for yet. Its unusual for them to issue a a labor OP berfore we see the information. I'll see if I can find out what its for.

 

there is already a labor op for it the number is v1849

 

I have a PDF of the bulletin if there is any way to post it...

Right now, if you look up your VIN in the system is has the bulletin number and just lists N/A for the description. The e-mail my Dad go said the rest of the information would be going up there today...

 

Yeah mine just says N/A. Anyway you could look up my VIN once it goes through and send it to me?

 

I asked the dealer if I should call back later this week when all the info is posed and they said if it is listed today, it will have to be done. If it lists the bulletin number, it will apply to your vehicle...just go ahead and make the appointment...

 

All righty.

 

yea your right they are going to be replacing some rotors.

it is so wierd how the info for this was published.

 

Whats especially weird is how supplier can't seem to get rotors right. I mean ****, GM has been having problems with wrapped rotors since I can remember.
