Column lock recalls

I have a service column lock message on my 2001 vette which I bought used in 2006. How do I know if the recall of 2004 was serviced or not? I have no records with the car indicating that it was recalled. The repair shop that services it claims that GM does not even make the column lock assembly. Ifeel like I am getting ripped off!

Why feel ripped off, most (if not ALL) of the recalls were worthless anyway. Buy a CLB for $50 and get over it.

Try having a Chev Dealer run your vin# to see if any column lok service was done. Getting a CLB is a good way to go...Good Luck...

You can send your VIN to Gene Culley gene@gmpartshouse.com and ask for the GM VIS for your VIN.

He will email it back. Look in the Claim History section of the report and you will find all the info you need to know whether the recall service was done.

If its a manual then start reading here for all the info and more that you will need about the column lock problem:
