Column lock - Recall or a courtesy fix????
I just bought this second vette (2002) that does not have the Column lock disengaged. I asked the dealer about fixing it and they said that it was not a recall and i would have to wait until it failed or pay about $700 to get it fixed now. I thought that it was a recall fix.

Originally, the dealer would install the recall kits regardless of whether you have had a problem or not.
However, I think there was a time limit on getting the recall fix installed, so you may need to find another dealer if you want it fixed without waiting for it to fail.

Just buy a $50-60 column lock bypass and install it yourself. Best money you will spend on the car and the locking problem will be solved.
