Are there really any advantages to having the column lock recall performed other than the fact that the fuel will cutoff in event of a column lock. I have a custom tune but was thinking of getting LG headers and having it retuned. Thought I might go ahead and have the recall performed before doing the header upgrade.
I seem to remember reading that the PCM flash upgrades the version of the software and that there are more fixes/improvements than just the column lock issue.
I never heard of any other updates that might be beneficial. Most folks have the recall done for the record in case it becomes a resale issue later. Any custom tuning would be lost after reflash. Having said that, I had mine done with first oil change.
I ignored the recall as I have custom tuning. Don't trust GM in that I have no confidence in their fix. The column lock bypass will remain on my car.......that way I am assured there won't be a problem...
I had mine done this week. I ignored the first letter. And the second letter. Then the dealer called me. I sure hope this doesn't come back to bite me in the buttox.

I've ignored the 2 letters from GM. Is it mandatory for us to do this or can we choose to ignore it? I have custom tuning and really don't want to let them (GM) play with flashing my car.

I'm not sure how this would become a resale issue later. Since this recall does nothing to fix what the recall is for (the column lock), on manual trans C5's.
