    Default Recall?

    Got a call from the dealership about a recall. I wasn't able to call them back in time and they didn't specify. Any ideas? I know about the tsb's but didn't know of any actual recalls on the G8.

    Sometimes not actually a dealer call, but a bullshit aftermarket company trying to sell you an extended warranty. More than likely you will see a warranty issue here before the dealer contacts you. We have some pretty good connections here!

    I'll give them a call Monday to see what they say. I checked the caller ID, it came from the dealership.

    Yeah...GM realized they made a mistake with the Dod engine and they're going to install an LS3 in all G8GTs for free.

    i was in the dealer earlier this week for the tcm/ecm update, and he said it is now a recall because of saftey concerns so disregard the call about the recall

    The new fix will be to flash the TCM so that it skips the 2-3 upshift and goes 2-4 instead. Problem solved....GM's way.
