Keys are locked in the ignition and the dealership told me that the ignition recall expired. What kind of bill should I expect?

 

last to my knowledge, I don't remember a recall supposed to be expiring.

 

I had mine done under recall literally yesterday. I would try another dealer. Ik the part is like 90.95. And the recall expired jan 31 of 2013 as far as Ik but I'm sure some dealer will do it Ik mine did.

 

He said he would call and see if they would cover it... Guess that's what I get for not getting it done sooner.

 

Recalls do not expire

 

Is the service rep still on the forum??? He said it'd be $105 to look at, I told him there's nothing to look at just do what the recall is for...

 

I didn't think they touched these unless they broke?

This should be covered.

 

Recalls can expire.

 

thats stupid to have a recall expire... Its a major risk to the car and the owners safety, but if the owner doesnt get it fixed in x amount of time its no longer a risk?? lol

 

They try to cover a percentage of affected cars.

 

it's not a recall, it's a special policy, and they can expire. I checked GMVIS when I bought my G5 and it said the policy was still open and had no expiration.

 

^^^ This.

There was not a recall but they did extend "warranty" coverage on the ignition lock cylinders beyond the standard bumper to bumper coverage.
Not sure on the numbers but there is a limit on the mileage / time. I got a letter on it but didn't keep it because my car is well past the mileage - nothing like 25000 miles / year to run you out of warranty in a hurry

 

I lied, it's the fuel pump module special coverage that is covered forever:

Applicable Warranties Valid warranties are highlighted
Valid Description Start Date Effective Odometer End Date End Odometer
Special Coverage 12191 12/22/2006 72 MI Unlimited Unlimited

the ignition lock policy is 12089 and it is covered for 10 years or 120,000 miles (193,000km)
