As I mentioned on another thread, I got an orange postcard in the mail title URGENT RECALL NOTICE. At the bottom this handwritten in:

Campaign # 08157

Does anyone know what this is for?

 

Thats your storage bin latch on the dash

 

Yeah, its for the latch on the dash compartment, but at least your dealership mailed you the information. Mine literally mailed me the part and basically said 'here, do it yourself.' Apparently my dealership is riddled with idiots.

 

It was planned to be a DIY repair in the first place . . . thus why GM mailed it to you.

 

Which is absolutely true, but my cousin in Indiana has an '08 he bought in August and they mailed him a letter telling him to come in and they would handle it. Clearly it wasn't a difficult fix and it takes approximately 47 seconds to administer, but I would just like to know why some people get told to come in and others get the part in the mail...

 

Received mine and installed in under 10 seconds. Much nicer then having to wait at the service department. I think GM made the right decision in mailing it out.

My wife, who is not mechanically inclined, thought she could have done it in under 20 seconds.

 

Thats what mine did too!! i just threw it away. i found the small part pointless... like the little door was gonna kill me!

but i also got another postcard in the mail saying my front end crash thing didnt pass!!! so i dont know what that is about. did any of you get that one in the mail?

 

never heard of that one. what year is your car. kinda sounds like junk mail

my front end crash thing didnt pass!!!

Spoken like a true women

 

I think it is more so the door doesn't open and whatever you have stored in there doesn't fly out in the event of a crash.

Being that it is right and face level and all, I had no problem putting it in.

To each their own.
