The fix is available now. Basically they replace the key end of the fob with one turned 90 degrees. You'll lose the flip key in the process.

Just went in for my recall. Even after I called them yesterday to confirm that they could do it while I wait, they now said they have to order new keys. They will pull the key part out of the fob and chuck the key. Then give me a new normal ring key and I keep my fob as the remote. Not excited about it and kinda pissed that they didn't know that when I called yesterday, but I guess that's they way they are fixing it. The switch blade has been broken for years so it's probably better than what I've got now.

same hear I called mu dealer yesterday and they said they will order 2 new keys for me
I'm taking my non-flip keys for the recall. Even after reading all the posts, this one seems a bit silly. Just my $.02.

they actually told me they have to reprogram the ignition lol
What if I want to keep my flip key? I have a blank I bought, will I still be able to get it cut?
My GM dealer said they would do it. Can't speak for all of them though.Originally Posted by cstmg8

I looked at the GM parts data base yesterday. I may have the non flip key done to get my G8 off the recall notice.
Rest in Peace Charlie!

Ray,
I thought you declined it. No?

Didn't know you were still on the forum. I told them I would decline it. I may have the non flip key changed. The cut in the key goes 90 degrees from the current key. As long as the flip key remains original, i'm happy.
Rest in Peace Charlie!
