Recall

[wolfie]

I was at the dealer today and the salesman said there is a recall for the leaking roof lights. Mine aren't leaking yet but then it hasn't rained since I picked it up either! I'm going to have them check it out Friday. Has anyone heard anything about a recall?

Wolfie,

If it is indeed a recall, you'll get a notice in the mail to take it in to have yours checked.  Typically, when they recall a certain make of car/truck, they will have a series of VIN's that are affected.  I might wait it out for the notice.

They'd probably have to hose down your roof(which will then fall on your windows, hood, fenders, doors) to find any leaks.  Then if they bother to dry off your truck they probably wouldn't take as much care as you would when drying it off. This could lead to all kinds of crappy new scratches in your paint.

I use Zaino on all my vehicles, so I'd be kind of aprehensive about that.  A dealer I bought my CamaroSS from did just this to it when they were searching for the cause of water in the hatchback area(ttop storage space). :angry:

I have the marker lights on my truck.  5 months and 2200 miles and I have no signs of leaking yet...  My truck is garaged at home but I drive it in the rain and it sits outside at work 8 hours a day...

I'm not worried about it but he did say "recall" and it was the first I've heard of any recalls...

leaking roof lights?  where do they leak?

There is some pretty good info on this subject here.  They still don't mention anything about a recall, but it describes how to fix the problem.  They also mention where you will notice the leaks on trucks both with and without the overhead console.
