Guys two questions, please, if I may. I used to post to this forum fairly frequently, but I have not posted recently. Most of my prior posts pre-date the GM collapse and re-org of circa 2008-2009.
This is regarding the timing belt recall. Before the re-org, GM (i.e., Cadillac) would honor that recall notice for any Cat that had never had the belt change performed. This was true even many years later, many years after the recall notice originally went out.
Does the "new" Cadillac still honor those old, pre-re-org recall notices?
Changing out a Cat timing belt is costly and I have to believe the "new" GM (the "new" Cadillac) might today just say: "Sorry, no more free belt changes. That was a different company, they're out of business, and you're out of luck." Or something to that effect.
Has anyone gotten a free belt change from the "new" Cadillac operation?
Along similar lines, my second question:
Before the re-org you could walk in to any Cadillac dealer service operation with your Cat VIN and they would cheerfully provide you your service history, especially as regards recall service. Does this continue to be true with the "new" post re-org Cadillac? Do they still have access to those old service records and are they willing to provide them for free upon request?
