someone down there needs to tell someone up here not to do the recall. just got a letter from GM Canada telling me to come in for my out standing nox sensor recall. :icon_scratch:

Sensor likely still needs replacing, it's the software update they are suspending. Ironically both my CTDs had the recall done and are running great with no issues, guess I got lucky..

That is most certainly to be expected when you buy not only a new model car, but something entirely new on the market like the North American Cruze Diesel.

I had the emissions recall done and have had no issues after at least a few thousand kilometres since it was done. I wonder what causes it to negatively affect some and not others.

I think I have driven about 4000 miles post recall with no issues yet. It changed my regens so far quite happy about that.

I wish they could do software/firmware updates over the air on LTE-equipped cars. That would definitely save a trip to the dealer for something.

Maybe in the future...I think they are supposed to do that with the new navigation systems.

I don't think so!
You don't want the software to update by itself when you are driving the car, or ready to go somewhere and have to wait until it will be done. However you may not want a specific update at all, not all the updates are "ok" for everybody. I remember that it was a recall in the past for the skid plate. I took care myself of my car and made large holes into the plate, just in case I'll have t oil spilled. Guess what? The dealer did the "recall" first time I forgot to mention "Don't do it!"...
Something else, if they can access your car online, others can do it too...

Eh. Obviously it wouldn't do it while driving, or while you're about to go somewhere. I would be ok with it if you could call OnStar, and they could do it there when you have a recall notice or TSB or something of the sort.

Maybe they should just get it right before they release it, eh? Our other car has had several transmission software updates - taking it to the dealer 3x for that and waiting in the lobby for about an hour while they got it in was just a waste of my time. My Cruze (1.4) had a ECU update that made it run better (and supposedly keeps it from fouling cat converters), a radio update, a firmware flash for the steering, and a BCM flash for the speedo going crazy. Pretty sure the new one needs something for the radio spazzing out with Spotify, and I have a recall, but I'm just going to do it all at once this time. Especially as years go by and the infotainment system starts to feel out-of-date, it would be nice if they could release upgrades for that w/o having to take it to the dealer.

Actually, come to think of it, Tesla does it.

You are correct......Tesla already does this.

GM intends to and actually already has on the genI Volt.

This will be a further extension of the capabilities of the telematics system.....AKA OnStar.

not sure what to tell ya. maybe can spec is good to go and usa needs more work

I had the recall done and I can say that the cold (-15C) and below starting is way worse.The car burps,misses,and usually takes 2 attempts.

Do you let the glowplugs do a full cycle before starting? I've never had an issue starting mine at that temp, but the girlfriend, who refuses to acknowledge the glow plugs, just gets in and slams the key straight to start and has to crank the crap out of it to get it to start.

If its not broke dont fix it. Glad i seen the issues most were having after doing the recall. I elected not to have it done and have had no issues with 40,000 miles on my car. For those that have not gotten the letter is says if you had the previous recall done to take it back to the dealer and have it reversed back to original at this time.Back to square one.

 

[beaurrr]

I got the letter today. It says to disregard the recall for now while GM works on revised software.

 

[money_man]

Had the recall doe and no issues so far. Couple thousand km on it so far

 

[pacolino]

Got another cel today code P11DC at 583 kmDSR and 20 sooth mass, I cleared it again with my Scangauge. I'm getting worried of why I'm getting this code, my car has only 24000km, everything is factory original.

Have 56K miles on the clock and did not have any of the recalls done, NO issues related to recalls up to this point. If its not broke... don't fix it! :th_dblthumb2:

 

[smkn600ctd]

Had the recall done months ago....no issues.

Merging this duplicate thread into the older one.

I always turn the key and let the light go out before starting.

With my older diesels, not waiting for the glow plugs simply meant longer cranking time and a bigger puff of smoke on startup. But no harm otherwise (except maybe wear on the starter). I doubt it's any different with these cars. But I think waiting for the light to go out is good practice, especially in cold weather.

recall done 11,000 miles ago , no issues

well i live in florida so no need for them but i remote stat from inside the house and walk to the car. im sure it primes the fuel pump and glow plugs. but when i manually turn it on i wait for all the lights to turn off so figure the glow plugs have turned off by then.
