power steering recall
and i hate how car companies are allowed to put expiration dates on recalls ... cheap %$$es
GM 1 800 630-2438
If I'm not the original owner of the car how would I know if the last owner had this done or not?
Also, I just called the GM Customer Assistance and he said there was no recall under my VIN #. Does that make any sense?
update: looks like the Customer Assistance people are clowns. Called the dealership and they said the job was done as it is recorded under the VIN # back in early 2008.

I called GM and they said my recall for this issue was done on 03/30/10
I also updated the info since I'm the new owner & I just purchased the Monte two weeks ago. Thank God I read these posts from time to time

*bump from the grave*
I noticed a leak from one of my Power steering lines about a week ago and after doing research here and on LS1tech I have determined it is the recalled power steering line. My biggest concern with the issue was about the letter that was sent out stating that the recall was free of charge if done before Feb of 2011. I bought my car Jan 4, 2012 so I never recieved the letter and was afraid I was going to be held accountable for the previous owner being a lazy good-for-nothing.
I went to a Chevy dealership today to ask them about the issue. They ran my VIN and told me that the line was going to be fixed free of charge. (I think the only requirement was if the vehicle had less than 110,000 miles otherwise I don't know why he asked.)
I just wanted to post this update because I was trying to find an instance where somebody got this fix done after that "free of charge" date and found nothing. So for anybody who hasn't gotten the recall fixed yet it should still be free of charge granted you have a good dealer in the area.
