You could not be more wrong. And it is your kind of attitude that enables GM to continue a “f-u” attitude with garbage customer service and make people want to never buy a thing from them again.
First of, GM knows EXACTLY - TO THE T - which engines, and thus which vehicles, the defective valve springs went into. Every. Single. Last. One. This ain’t 1968 - every part that goes into, well, everything mass produced today, carries an identifier for the time/date/location that specific part was fabricated, then when it was shipped, then when it was stocked at the factory, then when it was installed and into which engine block it was installed into. Then that specific engine is identified with the VIN of the car it was installed into.
They use QR code’s and “just in time” production concepts, part of Lean 6 Sigma. So within 5 minutes of looking up the VIN of your car GM knows exactly when and where the valve springs (along with every single other part/bolt/nut/washer/gasket/ring) in YOUR engine were forged/cast/fabricated. The time, the date, and which factory.
They only have to recall the ones they know are of the bad batch. They know, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
