You say you received a notice. From who? I went into my dealer and they knew about the recall but if not for this forum I still would know nothing about it. Just wondering who's responsibility it is to notify the owner or is it our responsibility to find out about safety recalls? Also, if people are being notified, how long ago and how were you notified?
We should get notified via us mail by GM. I'm pretty sure they said the noticed would start late January.
I got the notice in the mail today for this Recall. It says issue exists in Certain 2011 model year GMC Terrain vehicles.. Maybe it doesnt effect ALL.
i got my notice today too. The salesmen was previously telling me to set up my free 75 day inspection visit this week. I will do them both at the same time. With a recall, I can take advantage of a ride to work or a free loaner car if needed.
After asking how others were notified I got my monthly Onstar report email today and it tells me about the recall.
I got the recall yesterday. It's from Chevrolet. It specifically says: Your 2011 model year Chevrolet Equinox, VIN ################, is involved in a safety recall 10370. Schedule an appointment with your Chevrolet dealer. This service will be performed for you at no charge.
My dealer did call me back and we're doing it this Thursday. I'll let you know how it goes and what they do.

I just got a call from the dealer, from whom we bought the car, informing me that our Nox is part of the recall. I got an appointment for Thursday. They told me that there will be an inspection which would take an hour. What will happen after that, I'm not sure.
We haven't received a recall for our 2010, so is this specific to 2011 only?
If so, what changed in the seat belts from 2010 to 2011?

perhaps a different company making the bracket, different machine stamped them, different metal compound, new (dumb) employee working that machine....doesnt have to be the design that changed for a recall to happen...2010Nox said:We haven't received a recall for our 2010, so is this specific to 2011 only?

True enough!gar187er said:perhaps a different company making the bracket, different machine stamped them, different metal compound, new (dumb) employee working that machine....doesnt have to be the design that changed for a recall to happen...
Probably a new dumb employee who doesn't give a sht, assembling the brackets from a new supplier that uses recycled Hyundia Pony's and Dodge Omni's from the 80's.
On time I had a recall on a door handle. The tech just pulled the power lock from inside the car. If the inside was solid (Not an open piece) it did not have to be replaced. Mine was solid so it did not have to be replaced. I believe the recall is for 2011's not the 10's. They change supplers sometimes to save a few pennies.
We got the recall notice on our 2011 Nox. I took the vehicle into the dealer and had the oil changed and the recall done. Took about 1.5 hours at the dealer. I drive it home and all seems o.k. Next day my wife drives the car and since she is shorter than me, she adjust the powered driver seat forward. When she got home, she informed me that the seat belt light and chime was on. I go check and see the wire for the seat belt warning laying under the driver seat. They had left the wire support clip off and the cable dropped down behind the seat rail, when she moved the seat forward, it pulled the wire out of the connector. There were a few small broken plastic pieces under the seat. I checked the passenger seat, and they had left that clip off as well. I put the wire back together and put both clips back on, then called the dealer who asked me to bring it back in. If they repair it correctly will require the connector or wiring harness to be replaced. Not looking forward to this.
Looks like your dealership put one of their best guys on that job. :kencal51 said:We got the recall notice on our 2011 Nox.

Our dealership does a good job on our vehicles because I know most of the guys that do the work and if they do a bad job I'll do a bad job on their building systems.
I took mine in last Friday. They did the work for the recall and I also had my first oil change. It took about an hour at the most.
