Default GM Recalls?

Hello Everyone,
Does anyone have any information on GM Recalls that have come out for our Camaro's/Firebirds/TransAm's???
I saw a post about a recall for our sail panels on 99+ years, and I'm sure there are others out there. I've searched through different databases on the web and have found nothing....

Anyone with info please post!!

There hasnt been any recalls on the sail panels, I do recall a TSB for the ttop cars though. Might want to ask who is a GM tech and has access to the TSB database

Do a search on it, there was a TSB for the sail panel in TTop cars from 99-02. I printed out that TSB for when I take mines in.

I wanted to get some more info on this service bulletins, would I just print this pages out and then they have to by law do the work? Anyhow I went to that website listed 2 threads up and under service bulletins only Firebird was listed, would Trans Am fit into that one as well. I found summaries listed below, did not see anything on t-tops.

Thanks

Ok I answered my owe question, TSBs or Techinical Service Bulletins are different from must fix recalls, TSBs are just recurring problems that have write ups for dealers to fix easier, they won't fix for free.

You are correct, these TSB just help the techs out in finding out what is wrong with a vehicle. If you give me the last 8 of your VIN # I can check to see if there is any recalls.

the paint bubbles on the roof panel due to manufacturing glue used is not a recall...yet.

If enough people get together on it, things might change.

see thread:

take your time with it..its worth a full read.

It's not a factory thing, just a bunch of stuff he put together to be similar to the 70s 'Bandit' cars. And WS7 = aftermarket version of WS6 Ram Air http://www.cardomain.com/ride/781119/3

sorry there are two recalls.I went to 2002 and there was a brake booster defect and the welds on drivers door could be a safety issue in a side impact.It didnt say it covered other years.Between 98 and 01 no recalls were listed.
Like any other car on the road there are a ton of TSBs
