15594 - Emission Recall - NOx Position 1 Sensor Replacement - Recall Suspended

Well I was on SI today trying to diagnose an issue with my remote start when I saw this memo that was issued today. For the record I had my dad do mine and have not had any issues. I am going to leave the current ECM program in my car unless I have any issues in the future. PS I think my remote start issue is being caused by a failing battery, which is only 2 (3 going by car build date) years old with only 15k miles, but that's another post for another day.

CruzeDan,
Thanks for posting that info. My dealership just called me to let me know that the recall had been suspended, but they were not aware of the additional verbiage authorizing re-flash back to pre-recall software.

Reprogramming to the old program is only necessary if the car is exhibiting the CEL mentioned in the document. If you have no issues, it is not necessary to go back.

LOL. Oh, I'm having problems.
1) Recall work
2) Replace other sensor
3) Replace EGR Valve
4) Replace Warranty Sensor
5) CEL on and off every few hundred miles....

So I wonder if people who have had the recall and have been having no issues (such as myself) will still be notified to get the improved program once they figure it out, or if they'll just leave us as is since we're experiencing no difficulties with it.

My guess is that the improved program will be a new recall unrelated to the old one.

Judging by how GM handles programming of modules, the cars with the program new program will be left alone unless there is an issue. GM never recommends programming modules unless there is an issue or a recall.

Wow, so they essentially recalled the recall. That's special. Does GM even have a QA department?

Considering that the recall doesn't cause issues on all cars, it's very possible it just was missed. They did the right thing and stopped it, that's it. Anyone who spent money trying to fix it should be really try to be reimbursed.

Totally agree with this. Several people paid to replace NOx sensor #2 as that's generally what the P11DC points to.
