Recall on my 95 CS?

Details of the recall below. Do these recalls expire? Can I still get this done for free? I definately do not need my airbags exploding in my face when I start the car.

call your local GM deal to see if it is still valid, I think is. I had mine down two years ago

iunno what inflators they're talking about, but if the airbag light were to flash, my head's going out the window.

If the recall work has been done, there SHOULD be a little sticker somewhere under the hood.. preferably on that radiator support/header panel that says:

I had that done on my cutlass a few years ago. It fixed the horn!

[CuttySup]

Is it just the '95s?

[1BADVR4]

Give me your VIN number and I'll run it for you.

If you go to Oldsmobile Owner's Center, you can get the info you need

https://www.mygmlink.com/main/US/en/oldsmobile/home

 

I believe you will have to sign up in order to get recall info on a specific vehicle, but am not sure

 

Also the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration site has these documents about this recall on file:

http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/RepositoryFiles.cfm?module=RECALLS&IfsDocId=00V171

If you go to the above link and then check page 2 of the document called "Remedy Instructions and TSB ( 145.83 KB)", you will see that it lists the vehicles, the plants they were built in, and the serial numbers potentially involved in the recall. With your VIN number in hand you would be able to determine if your car had the problem in the first place.

Give me your VIN number and I'll run it for you.

No airbag recall.

There is a recall on the power steering gear though. Take it to any dealer that still services Oldsmobile and it will be done for free. Try pontiac/buick/chevrolet dealers because that recall is also on other w-bodies.

I didnt get a sticker when mine was done :?

[jmblimo]

It would have to include the '94. Same airbag as the '95.

That doesn't matter. There is NO airbag recall on that VIN.

Some people don't do the stickers. Run the VIN to be sure.

[GnatGoSplat]

I don't see any airbag recalls for 94 either.

 

My airbag light DOES illuminate sometimes!

 

I also replaced my airbag with a nicer looking one from an unknown model year. I hope it wasn't from an 95! Airbag light was intermittently illuminating long before that though.
