Wonder why the 8 speed trans didn't get something like that reported.

 

GM can just wait until they are out of warranty and then it's your problem.

 

I think Barry's point is who pays.

 

"The NHTSA said its Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) received 39 complaints and a number of “early warning” field reports alleging engine failure in GM vehicles equipped with the L87 engine"

39 complaints. Really?

 

No one is saying they had to pay.

So it must be GM.

 

Warranty claims are different than recalls.
Recalls dont expire…

 

Recalls dont expire…

Lots of them do. They have end dates for the recall.

A co-worker of mine owns a 1995 Toyota Avalon. It's in very rough cosmetic shape, but is still his daily driver for 25 years now. At one point in the past there was some engine recall where the solution was every Avalon owner in the recall pool (some range of V-6 engines) got an engine replacement. Well, that recall expired many years ago. There was an end date on it. If you didn't bring your car in to schedule on or before the end date, you didn't get the recall performed because you waited too long.

 

Didnt know that…

 

Toyota did the same with their frame replacement recall on the Tacomas. Get your truck in before the end date, or fail to do that and TS. Same with the new Tundra engine replacements - there will be an end date.
