Jeff M Posted February 19, 2003 Report Share Posted February 19, 2003 Guys and gals, an update has been granted to the original 1997 safety recall regarding subframe bolts pulling through on the cars below. The update makes this recall more accurate since it includes the rest of the cold/salty states some of us live in so, call and schedule up your free fixes.

patgizz Posted February 19, 2003 Report Share Posted February 19, 2003 so since i've got 2 91 lumina's in the family that means if i go to the dealer, they will replace my cradle bolts for free? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff M Posted February 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2003 If you meet all of the paramters, yes that's the idea! Stop by and talk with them to make sure they understand and believe your claim, dealers are not all that open to someone telling them what to do but this does not matter, its a National Safety confirmed issue!

musthavemuzk Posted February 23, 2003 Report Share Posted February 23, 2003 is there anyway to find out what recalls have been done without a visit or call to the dealer? Monty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
