a recall is simply that a recall, it is a manufactures way of repairing a problem before it becomes a greater problem, unlike Toyota and VW and a whole lot of other off shore manufactures GM and Ford are able and willing to take the high road and take care of the problems so I will stick to my American vehicles

I think the automatic transmission Sierras have the same problem.
