They mention that reprogramming the airbag module is necessary...is this going to be an issue if i have an ECM/TCM tune on the car? Now that I have the GXP differential in the car I don't think I'm able to put everything completely back to stock before bringing it in for dealer visits. Should I be worried that they'll notice I have the car tuned when performing this recall?

^^^^+1 on this.
My warranty is gone now that I put the 2300 on but don't want to have to go back to my tuner and have him reinstall my tune. Hope this will not effect the whole ECM/TCM.

+1 on this as well, Will I need to reflash back to stock from my VMS Tune?
I saw this on another web site:
"The flaw affects some 38,444 G8 models manufactured between November 2, 2007 and January 22, 2009."

Steve from VMS thinks it's unlikely that anything in the ECM/TCM tunes will be affected but can't be sure. I'll wait until they contact me on this one...
I'll wait as well. Does anyone know a mod friendly dealer in the North Dallas area?Originally Posted by I12XLR8

For mods list, honk 3 times.
Wait, whaaa.....?? THREE recalls? Thankfully, I haven't (so far) had any issues with the struts or door lock mechanism (what happens to it?), rotors aren't really that bad.
All I've had so far (30k miles), I managed to talk the dealer into doing the full pump kit on PIP4395E, the floor mat retainer broke, and I forgot to tell the dealer how goddam slow my driver's window comes up. Maybe if you guys tell me about the struts and door locks I can schmooze the dealer into these preemptive strikes (err, warranty fixes) before 36k! I'll fix the rotors by doing a CTS-V swap from Greg@WasSlow

Apparently this is 'normal' operation - it appears that all of our cars do this ;-(
Good call! It sure looks awesome...I'll fix the rotors by doing a CTS-V swap from Greg@WasSlow
