Daewoo Camshaft Position Sensor Recall

[KashKutie]

I have a 2000 Leganza that is currently in the shop getting repairs on the engine and a bunch of other damage which, according to the Dealership that is doing the repairs, was caused by the Camshaft malfunctioning. I have already paid over a $1000 in repairs and parts and the Dealership estimates that I will need to pay another $800 to $900 just to get the car running again. I also received the Camshaft Position Sensor recall in the mail, because my cars VIN number was subject to the recall. Does anyone know if this recall covers all damages that have already occurred due to the Camshaft position Sensor malfunctioning and would it be possible to get reimbursement for what I've already paid?

I believe you can receive you can receive reimbursement for the work that you have done on your car if it is related to the recall and within the past year and you have receipts. go to this website to check on recall notices of what is being sent to you as the consumer as well as what is sent to the dealerships!

I found this site looking for the reason why they will not replace my stupid part when the check engine line remains on 90% of the time and when I had it tested, I was told it was coded as the CPM Sensor.... I'm still trying to figure this one out. I hope that helps you! Good Luck!

Only certain cam sensors are under the recall...only certain ones have the potential to catch fire. What the technician has to do is pull out the cam sensor and check the lot # on the part. If it falls within a certain range, then it gets replaced under the recall. If not, then you would have to pay for it if it has failed and is not within the lot numbers. All parts have lot numbers to help determine when and who made a specific part. I think Daewoo got a bad batch of cam sensors and some were installed in the cars when they were first produced and some were used as replacement parts.

just because your light is on due to a faulty cam sensor does not mean it gets replaced under the recall. If it has failed, and not part of the recall, then you have to pay for it if you want it fixed.

And just because your VIN # falls within the range on the letter, that does not gaurantee replacement either. That just means that the recalled part will fit your car. Daewoo has no way of knowing whether your cam sensor was replaced if you previously paid for it. That is why they are sending letters to all owners within the VIN range.

I do not understand why couldn't you take it to a dealer for a warranty repair?????

I just saw a 2000 Laganza at my local dealer having the timing belt trouble causing $3500 repair under warranty. Do not pay!
