    Default LCA recall

    I finally got the LCA recall. I'm so excited, almost bought some. So is this the loud pops and creaks in and out of driveway and parking stalls?

    They are finishing mine up right now. They only cover arms with visible play, and won't cover the tow, but hey it beats full price!!!

    Didn't get anything in the mail today, but I picked up the form at the Chevy dealer to fill out. Kind of a pain finding credit card receipts from October of 2014, so I ended up making copies of CC statements.

    Service adviser said they'll pay it. He didn't know about this one, but his brother has a G8 and he was excited to have him get some cash back, even though he's sold the car already.

    Now if they can only address the peeling interior door handles. He told me GM has done this recall on Avalanches and some other products. Maybe we need a write-in campaign!

    It's not a recall, it is extended coverage. Meaning there is an expiration date/mileage.

    Got the letter last week and I am getting mine checked tomorrow during inspection. Had the passenger side replaced under warranty and now the driver's side is making the same noises. I checked for play the last time I had the front tires off the ground and there definitely was some. I was getting ready to order the kit from Pace to replace these again.

    Correct. 10 years, 120K miles. I've wondered why my LCAs haven't failed but after reading the reason why, makes sense why the pampered garage queen has had no issues. Sits in temperate conditions and driven in temperate conditions. If the car is on the road below 50 degrees - something weird happened in my world. Likewise if its on the road over 90 degrees, we're having a bat shit crazy hot day in Seattle.

    Doubt I'll ever benefit from this.
