Default FYI...GM recall info.

The way I read it, you would have had to have your PCM reprogrammed by a GM tech in order for this to apply. ( Not the tech's fault...GM provided the incorrect calibration info. )

My car was included in the Vin# breakpoints, but it hasn't been into the dealer for service since I've owned it. 20K and knocking on wood.

Hope this is not a dupe...Ken may have already posted it...didn't check.

Good luck.

General Motors has decided to conduct a voluntary emission recall involving certain 2001 Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette: and Pontiac Firebird model vehicles equipped with 5.7L (RPO LS1-VIN Code G: RPO LS6-VIN Code S) engines. Uncertified service calibrations for these vehicles were released in error and subsequently programmed into some vehicles that returned to GM dealers for service during the period in which these calibrations were available.
CORRECTION Dealers are to reprogram the Powertrain Control Module
Involved are certain 2001 Chevrolet Camaro,Corvette and Pontiac Firebird models equipped with 5.7L engines and built within these VIN breakpoints:
Year Division Model From Through
2001 Chevrolet Corvette 15100204 15122907
2001 Chevrolet Camaro 12101003 12136664
2001 Pontiac Firebird 12102026 12136866

Probably had a more aggressive setup that was not emissions friendly...
I'd leave it. :D
