Mine still shows. Did you get the recall letter? I did. Well, my brother in law did (he was the original purchaser). I haven't bothered to go see the dealer yet.trb wrote:I just checked my GM page, and this recall has been removed from my 03 GT. It now says no recalls outstanding on GM and the NHTSA website when I ran my VIN. So did they drop it until the parts are ready, or drop it entirely?
trb wrote:No, haven't received a letter this year. I got one for the inflator recall last year and had that done. Maybe they are weeding them out by VIN numbers or something. Wish I had copied a screen shot of it before it was removed, but I will check with my dealer and see if they can explain what is going on, or call GM.
This is correct. No one knows what the issue actually is yet, including Takata.Nasmfell wrote:Be forewarned, Takata can't guarantee the replacement air bags won't have issues.
got my notice last week to about the recall -- also in the same boat with a family so driving with no passenger isn't an option.cythraul wrote:I got the letter in the mail for recall N140491 last Thursday.
The letter I received said not to use the passenger seat until fixed. It also said that parts were not available to fix the issue.
As we are a family of five with only one car going on holidays this Friday, I called GM customer support that night (I was surprised to discover they're opened quite late in the evening.)

Yanked both bags out! I don't have to worry about anymore pesky recalls now!
I guess it's a matter of perspective for me. How many recalls have the air bag system in these cars had? Aren't we up to 8 or 9 now?? Just how safe are the air bags? I understood the first couple recalls. It was a new platform, an all new product, it's inevitable that there would be problems, but after the fifth and sixth recall? Come on! I would have thought if the system was worth anything to begin with it could have been sorted out by now. My car is 12 years old, and I drive it every day. I have a tough time driving this little car as much as I do knowing that there WERE two bombs inside the car with me that could decide to go off in my face whenever they wanted to. To me that is what sounded unsafe. I did what I felt was right for me!by mbz321 » Thu Nov 05, 2015 12:51 pm That seems....unsafe...why would you just not go in for a free fix?
The module is only one thing right? I know they replaced the wiring harness and passenger inflator from the earlier recall.jasonvibe wrote:DRIVER OR PASSENGER SIDE ???

Which are you ?
Did you go through a Buick/GMC Dealer (that likely used to sell Pontiac)? Mine had plenty of parts on hand...If you used a Chevy dealer, I'd imagine they wouldn't stock the parts normally.blue_can wrote:I got my letter about the passenger side airbag safety recall in July. The recall number listed is 15406. I did not do it right away but called a dealer nearby and setup the process about 2 weeks after getting the letter. Weeks went by with no callback so after about almost 2 months called the dealer back and they could not even find the original order and nothing had been ordered. I assumed the parts were on backorder ad that was the reason for the delay but did not expect the dealer to screw up and lose the entire recall order.
Now it's on order but they cannot even say when it will arrive - apparently when they order these from GM their system does not show when the parts will be in, if they are on backorder or anything. If that is true really bad service on the part of GM.
In the meantime the letter says not to drive the car in the meantime. Really?!
Yes good point - did not really think of that. You are correct - It is actually a Chevy dealer. Not a lot of Buick/GMC dealers near to me anymore - the place I bought my car closed down very soon after I bought the car. There was another place quite close to me where I used to go to for any recall stuff and they did the PCM changeout. Unfortunately they have now become another dealership - possibly Chevy.mbz321 wrote: Did you go through a Buick/GMC Dealer (that likely used to sell Pontiac)?

Yes, you'll need to bring it to a GM dealer. About as far as Toyota gets involved is to decide the cars should be recalled. GM handles notifying the customers and performing the repairs.BenWA wrote:Are GM dealers doing the recalls since it was sold by GM? My 03 has incomplete status for both the infiltrator and module.
Thanks for the reply. I did an online appointment for Tuesday morning at a local Chevy dealer.ColonelPanic wrote:Yes, you'll need to bring it to a GM dealer.

Any GM dealer should be able to assist with the repairs, it doesn't necessarily have to be one that sold Pontiacs once upon a time. I plan on taking it to my Chevrolet dealer for the module replacement.
I am now dealing with the same issue. They fixed the 13030 recall. The light came on. They just fixed the 14877 recall Friday and are refusing to fix it as its saying B1181 code - to replace my airbag and coil which is now $1,000 bucks. Not sure what to do now...liquorboxracing wrote:I just got my letter today. My srs light came on awhile back. It threw a code of B1181 which is a D squib circuit short which is often a failure in the steering wheel clock spring or in the connections before or after it. I removed the fuse for the system and I'm seriously considering removing the airbags all together. I am considering doing some auto cross events next spring with the car and plan on doing a steering wheel swap with an after market wheel, as well as other mods. I think the SRS system is just a nuisance.
The second dealer called this morning and said they had to order the parts. Due to the holiday, it'll be early next week. I told them they can call me when the parts come in so we can schedule an appointment then. The car has waited 13 years/146k for the fix, it can wait another week/50-100 miles.BenWA wrote:Blah. The Chevy dealer called and asked for the VIN #, saying they can do the recall on some GMs but not others. After a couple minutes on hold, they said no they can't because they didn't sell Pontiacs. She told me to contact another nearby dealer that should be able to do the recall work. I submitted a service request online, but it's not a confirmed appointment system like the other dealer has. So maybe they'll do it, maybe they won't. It might just be the dealers are being lazy and don't want to take the time to do recalls on a 13 year old car and not make any money from it. I might have to find a smaller town dealer to take it to. Smaller towns seem to have better service than bigger dealers. That's my experience with Ford dealers, anyway.
