Default Decline Column Lock RECALL?

I have a 2000 M6 on which I installed the CLB several years ago. I sent GM the form, invoice, etc. and got re-imbursed for the price of the CLB several months ago after being hounded by GM with several notices to come in and get the column lock recall work done.

Now, I read here on the forum that GM will still do the column lock recall work on my car if I ever take it in for ANY other problem/work. So, my questions is: Can't I simply DECLINE the RECALL? The way I look at it I own the car. Why do I have to let them do work on it that I don't want done? Anybody got answers or ideas here?

BTW, even after getting re-imbursed for the CLB I am still getting recall notices from GM - the most recent came yesterday. Those guys must have great communication within their corporation

I actually just got my c5 back from the dealer and the service advisor
reminded me again about the recall. I told him I had no confidence in GM's fix
since I have an aftermarket fix. It actually says "customer declined" on the service ticket regarding column lock.

P.S. where did you get this form to get GM to re-imburse you????
I sure would like to get my money back for my aftermarket column lock bypass

I got two CLB recall notices. Each time I sent the card back to GM telling them that the problem was fixed.

IF they wanted documentation, then needed to send me $50 first and I would then send GM copies of the work order.
