Would that mean it passes the inspection not needing the pan removed?

How the f are you guys getting under this thing to check??? I guess ramps are needed.

I used a lift at work. But if you turn your wheels to the left all the way and have a flashlight and mirror you will be able to view it.

OK even tho my VIN comes up in the recall I climbed under there today and it appears I am good. No raised numbers. Here is a pic I took and circled the area it would be according to the bulletin.


Instead I saw what looked like sharply engraved numbers in the area I circled in blue below. It was hard to see this area and could not get a pic. There was definatley engraved digits in this area so it will not be in the same area as the raised letters would be.



Again VIN ends in 134437 built 12/15

Call me crazy, but the area you have circled does not look the area in the GM pic. If that is the correct area, I am good. Mine looks like yours.

Thanks very much for the detailed info. Unfortunately, I'm on the lucky VIN list so it's off to the dealer this week. If you want to check the pan for the raised number at home, you don't have to remove the aero pan. There are two quick ways to let you clearly see the number (or lack thereof).
1. You can see the raised number from the gap behind the crossmember on the passenger side. The gap is to the right in this photo. Use a good light or camera. This requires you raise the car to get into position.
2. Another method is to slide a camera phone up into the gap behind the crossmember and take a few photos. Obviously I'm using a lift, but this can be done without ramps in the driveway with a bit of stretching. Be careful not to hit the exhaust when reaching underneath.

Here's the photo of my pan with the raised number.

In the pic you quoted the blue circled area is where I found my engraved numbers. The red circled area is where the raised numbers are wich you can plainly see there and the small red circle with the number 2 disregard this is the pic from the GM bulletin.

Just checked mine (on the vin list) and found no Raised numbers, Engraving on mine is off to the left near the centerline of the car. Missed it on the first few looks as it is hard to see.....Build 1/16 # 137538

Pull this cover:
(a few 10mm bolts, 3 #10 torx and a pushpin)



Searched all around this area with a mirror. Look to the left for the engraving (buried so it can't be photographed). If you have the raised numbers they should be easy to see though:

yep mine needs it!

GM says mine is possibly affected.

I stuck a GoPro and a flash light under the front of the engine and got this picture. I think this means I'm all good? #124752

Post 119 seems to be the difinitive pic.....

According to the recall site where you enter in the VIN, mine is G2G.

Damn I'll be bringing mines in tomorrow to get checked out.
