I bought my 2003 Cadillac a few months back then I started noticing fluid leaking from my right from brake line so I got online just to check out the brakes in general and I noticed the recall. I obviously am not the original owner but called my local shop which is Crossroads Chevrolet in Joplin Mo. They ran my vin and said yep its an open recall bring it in and they took care of everything!! Very pleased with their service and help they were great!! Replaced both front brake lines.
