Hi gang,
New to the forum, and my first post here!
Put down a deposit today on a blue premium. Been looking forward to this for a long time!
BUT, when we got to the dealership the salesman told us that there was a new recall that had just been issued, and he had no idea when our car would be available to take home. He said, basically, if a vehicle is under recall, it can't leave the lot.
And here's the puzzling thing: GM has a web site (https://my.chevrolet.com/recalls) where you can put in a VIN and see current recalls. I put in the VIN, and got no results. The site lists today as last update.
Soooooo, has anyone heard of a recall? The salesman said it had something to do with the wheels.

Thanks,

Khunshawn

Dealers will get recall info before it's published.

I've seen GM's recall page take a couple of weeks after the NHTSA announces a recall. Once a recall is declared it can take time to determine which VINs are covered by the recall.

Thanks wizard, hoping this goes quickly.

Thanks obermd. Yikes! Fingers crossed that this doesn't take that long!

Might be related to a call I had from the dealer for a recall that is not posted on any GM recall site ( too new ?) Couple others have had the same thing http://gm-volt.com/forum/showthread.php?291553-Dealer-called-me-about-another-recall

I received a letter in the mail yesterday from GM talking about reprogramming the hybrid powertrain control module 2. It regards the motor running at a consistently higher power than normal to propel the vehicle, and acceleration is slower than expected.

Thanks Andy, that might be it as they did say there was a part they had to order. Hope they can do it relatively quickly.
