[Tech II]

This recall has nothing to do with SECURITY problems, like a no start....

In fact, I think all they are going to do, on this campaign, is put a smaller ring on the key, and install inserts in the key head to restrict movement.....

GMTech1 can probably verify this......

The typical SECURITY problems, I guess, are not considered a safety issue, because they don't happen while the vehicle is started.....for example, if the problem is there before starting the car, the car won't start.....no safety problem there.....if it happens AFTER THE CAR HAS STARTED AND IS RUNNING, the SECURITY light will then come on and stay on, but the car will not have any problem running.....it will also restart, but the light will be on constantly.......thus, not a safety problem.....

What happens is, sometimes the problem clears itself, and then the light goes out.....now you go to start the car, and the problem happens again BEFORE restarting....now the car won't start.....

Recalls are basically for safety reasons......since the PassLock sensor will not shut the car down, once it is started and running, it is not considered a safety problem......it is considered a breakdown of a part, like a spark plug, coil, crank sensor, etc.

All this campaign does is try to restrict movement of the key ring......so that it's "momentum" is not enough(while swinging as you drive), to prevent that key from accidentally moving from the "run" position to the "off" position....

Once the campaign is done, you will still be instructed not to have a plethora of accessories attached to your key ring....the only thing that should be on that key ring, is your RKE fob, not the key to your house, you mother's house, your mini flashlight, your good luck charms, etc......Some of the stuff you see on a customer's key ring is unreal....
