Just got a letter in the mail today for a safety recall. The recall is for vehicles not equipped with the optional roof-mounted side impact airbags fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 201.

 

Yup, I got the letter too. This mean we have to actually have it done?

 

If you don't take it in, it won't get fixed. At this point I'm not doing it. If you look in some of the other threads you can see its just a little piece of plastic. Also, from what I was told it is only a problem in a rollover if you are not wearing a seatbelt. I don't want to give them any chance to screw something up. Plus I have the 2-pod a-pillar and don't want them messing with it. There is a slight chance I'll have it done when I get the stage 2 kit installed, if they bring it up.

 

I just sarted a thread on this, i want to see a pic of it if its visible, but RJSS has a point that just gives them a chance to fk something else up.

 

Yeah, I got the same letter today. To bad I can't drive to dealer when my car is on jack stands with the head 20 miles away in pieces
Plus, just like RJSS, I don't want the dealer screwing with my 2 gauge pillar pod. I can just imagine getting it back with the wideband cracked or not working

 

hey guys, I got it done and it's not even visible!!

 

got my letter too, im not about to push my car there so **** them, lol all the power to me

 

i had my car in the shop friday, they said they just recieved notice and the parts werent in yet

 

X2 this was my first thought when I got a letter.

 

does this make the car more heavier

 

No, I think its just a little piece of plastic or foam thats placed underneath the head liner to protect your dome from the sheet metal roof in case of an accident.

 

the dealer said i'm the first one in the area to get it done...

parts are on order, we'll see

 

got the letter too,, dealer didint even know about the recall...

 

this is posted in the front page news... pretty old news actually....

but, this is the first i'm hearing of people actually getting letters to bring the cars in.

 

I went into the shop today as I got the letter as well they said it's not option if i bring in my G5 for service they will do it automatically is this right

 

is it going to be hooked to a computer to do this? i have a custom tune and the last thing i want is a undriveable car.

 

I don't see a reason for them to hook into the ECU. They will just be installing a piece between the headliner and the roof of the car.

I don't think I am going to bring mine in for this.

 

They shouldn't hook your car up the the computer. It's not necessary to do the campaign.

The G5's are not included in the campaign.
