Default Air Bag Recall - Did you get your letter?

So has anyone actually gone to a dealer & had this fixed yet? I just got my letter in the mail earlier this week & I plan on dragging mine in sometime next week. Just wondering if anyone has done it yet & what their experience was.

No letter here, but State Inspection time is coming up. If my car is part of the recall they can fix it then.

Too bad the air bag doesn't cause a diff implosion. I would have a Gen 4 with the quickness.

I got mine, it said to schedule an appointment on or after April 14th. Its good that GM finally decided to address this matter.

It would **** me off if I had to pay for something that should have been fixed on their end from the start (wheel hop lol). They're at least good enough to reimburse people that have had to pay for this issue out of pocket.

I got mine last week. I'm bringing my car in on Monday to get it replaced. Funny thing is that when I took it Friday to see about getting it fixed was when the Service Air Bag light decided to come on.

Got mine replaced yesterday(had to wait a few days for the passenger seat sensor) and they even washed the car too! Total time at the dealership was two hours. I spent it oogling the Black Raven V2 on the lot with the manual and the Recaros. If only I had $70k!
