this is a safety recall, not warranty work. They will do it regardless. The question as to whether or not the airbag module programming affects an ECM tune...I cannot answer. I do not think so, but there are others here that will know fo ' sho'!

Airbag is most likely controlled by the BCM and our tunes wont be effected.
This is no difference then the last recall about the lights, carry on if you have a tune. The safercar.gov site has the recall listed also.

Soooo...this means that when they perform this update my ECM/TCM tunes will not be affected in any way? Will they know that I have a tune as soon as they hook up?
Just want to be sure!
No
No it will not effect tune.
No
No. Now I'll say this, there could be some crazy tech out there that could go into your tcm/ecm and screw with it be cause he hates his job or your car, but that is not where they go to do the airbag reprogram.

Thanks...still if I could get some work done, maybe I could get them to flash it back to stock so that I can get them to check a few things and avoid the tuning question.

One of America's best automakers, General Motors created a big news for the first week of the month and these includes the recalls of 38,000 Pontiac G8s over air-bag issue and the plan of major which I found in this article Despite record first-half profit, GM plans major cuts. GM turned in a record first half for profits this year at $6.3 billion. Yet as reported by Automotive News, GM CEO was not happy. GM cutbacks will quickly follow. That means laid off employees will follow too and it sounds crucial for them.
Well the dealer didn't know about this recall and when they ran my VIN, my car didn't come up with any recalls.

I never drive with either front seat in a forward position, do I need to have this done?
