New Recall

[UGADawgs]

I called this past Friday morning and my closest dealer said, bring up, we're slow and have the parts. Dropped it off at 11:30am, went to see Knives Out, and picked it up around 3pm. I just changed my oil on Thanksgiving and wanted the tires rotated and balanced too. They said one time fee of $69.99 and I said, no thanks!, just do the recall. So then I took it to Walmart yesterday. For $48 they'll do it for the life of the tires.

Must not be a big deal at all?

If so, GM would call or send a written letter, correct?

At any rate, I found that mine is in the recall.

After my experience pulling off my rear interior door panel to add a window track bolt that GM forgot to install, I know all about the new style white plastic clips that are being used

 

The plastic where these clips attach to the panel is thin but should not break if pulled during warm temperatures (Pro-tip: do not work on plastic interior panels when it’s cold outside!). However, what does happen is that some of the white clips do not separate correctly and get pulled out as one piece. If this happens, these clips are no longer usable and need to be replaced. Of the 20 or so clips used, I had to buy 3 new ones.

 

So during this recall, I KNOW that techs are not replacing these unusable clips. Again, all the clips might separate as intended and you wouldn’t need any replacements but you’ll never know unless you take the b-pillar panel off and look for yourself.
 

Not having every clip attached properly can lead to rattles/squeaks immediately or down the road. This is why I HATE other people working on interior panels in my cars. 

When and if I decide to take my truck in for this recall, I will insist on watching the tech through the whole process. I don’t care if they don’t like it, I give zero ***** about their feelings.
