Letters went out yesterday to owners of the Saturn Outlook and will be sent on February 28th for GMC Acadia owners.

This is not a recall mandated by the NHTSA, but rather one initiated by GM itself after the problem was discovered internally. The potentialy faulty sensor in question controls the front airbags' deployment. While this potentially faulty sensor in the Outlook and Acadia could cause injury, GM apparently caught it quickly and the fix should be cheap, easy and fast for them to apply to every vehicle affected by the recall.

the VME for this went out two weeks ago, a mere two weeks after these went on sale. GM halted all sales of them last week to make sure they took care of the issue right at the beginning. (otherwise Im really impressed with the Acadia.

)

Good for them.

Didn't Toyota just recall a bunch of SUVs from the '03-'06 timeframe for balljoint problems?

Just thought mabye they should get equal billing in the recall posts

same with GM's H2 TRE wasn't it? Recalled 100% of them or something like that.

Yes they did. But that was also a year ago that the recall was announced.

Oh, I bash all, I just make it a point to go overboard with Mav sometimes because he's brainwashed.

That, and his idea of factual information relies on editorial pieces he posts up.
