freeplay in steering after GM recall service

I have about 3 degrees of freeplay in my steering wheel after my local GM dealer preformed the PS recall service. Is this normal, or should I take the car back to the dealer?

Since my Maxx wasn't affected by the recall (built after the problem was fixed at the plant), I can't give you a firsthand experience. However, MANY folks in Edmund's Town Hall are going through what you are. Involves incorrectly recentering the wheel and then something. In ETH, be sure to search in all 3 relevant forums: Malibu, Malibu Maxx, and Malibu:Problems and Solutions. You needn't become a member to read posts and search.

No, I own a 1998 with a standard PS system, not the Malibu Maxx.

What is this recall? I've only had this 98 Malibu a few weeks and I have not heard of a recall on them.

I'll surf over to Edmunds to check out the information.
