Installed the CLB today.
I decided to take the preventive action and install the CLB today, I know the recall might take care of it but I didn't want GM to re-flash my computer. I downloaded the direction from the forum, which could not have been written any better. It took me about 30 minutes because I didn't want to brake anything. The cost was $49 from corvettes of Houston. The bottom line is the column lock occurred to me once and I didn't want to fight that problem again. Plus I kept my tune intact.

Probably the best $50 you could have spent on the car. The recall, from what I have been reading, is not fail proof.

Maybe Jim needs to get his fixed. That would explain why he couldn't turn his steering wheel to take the exit at Ecklers while leading the pack.

Previous to my ownership, My '01 MN6 had been serviced twice for column lock according to the service records.
Shortly after purchase I got the remove key.... message

I agree ia CLB is a must for all C5 owners
