went for an oil change and the service manager told me about it. says that its a 9 hour job so she ordered whatever parts and said theyll supply me with a loaner. Ugh i dont want the dealer touching my car for that long, makes me cringe since most of these mechanics suck

I looked up my vin and found I need the recall. So I looked up my vin and recall on GM Service Information and there is no listed recall or information on this issue. Expect it to be on there next week though. The dealership doesn't have a remedy for this issue yet because it hasn't even been uploaded to GM SI. I'm assuming some engine may or may not have the bolts properly torqued to their spec so they issued this. Assuming the fix is to drop the pan and check the torque of the bolts. But depending on how they explain their cause, concern or complaint will determine if I take the vehicle to the dealership for this issue.

Paint, seats, rear-end, and now engine. Hopefully GM will have their stuff together soon. Sorry for everyone that ordered early.

Mine has the recall as well. 117192

Tim, can you elaborate on why the official GM repair procedure is so worrisome?
My VIN too is affected and the status says INCOMPLETE. I haven't called my dealer yet though. |

I'd be worried about repeat oil leaks or issues from everything being taken apart more than the recall itself. Because that means a repeat trip back to fix a bad reseal of the engine or what not. I just try to avoid the dealership scene in general having seen how it truly works. |
Mine is flagged as well

Mine is recalled as well. Very irritating. Luckily my dealer is pretty good to work with but I still don't like having to leave her with them. Someone said on fb it will take 3 days to fix. That seems excessive to me!

The formal procedure involves remove ALOT (I repeat... ALOT) of stuff including the subframe. It's not that there is anything difficult but the issue comes in when you have techs that could give a crap about putting it all back together 100% correctly including using new bolts where called for and torquing everything correctly.
If they are really calling for 9 hours for this job dealers will take the long road. It seems to me that the pan can be removed without taking much off at all if you are careful. Tim |
Im tagged waiting for a call back
