I’ve been no stranger to recalls over the years, with all our brands. You get a notice, and either you make an appointment to go in to have it taken care of, or you wait until they tell you the parts are in and then you make the appointment. And some, like the gas tank “fix” mysteriously happen when you take your vehicle in for something else and then happen to notice a brand new trailer hitch on the back of said vehicle that wasn’t there before. Lol.
Yes, some recalls are more urgent than others, and some will cost more for the manufacturer to resolve. As I’ve said many times, recalls are a good thing for the customer. It means the manufacturer has acknowledged an issue and is taking steps to fix it for the customer. It’s not a case of the customer having to battle with the manufacturer…my family did lots of that when I was younger, and it was with Ford.
Typically Ford (with our current vehicles) and Jeep have always been pretty good for us with the recalls. Buick, “we’ll call you when the parts come in” is like the cute girl in the bar taking YOUR number and saying she’ll call YOU. It ain’t gonna happen.
