It appears that for most it should only be a matter of updating software and not hardware.

Doesn't sound too bad except for the need to bring the car in for the update.

Pays .3 hr hour so not long. Awesome that I have a '16 sierra and C7 that both need recalls for the airbags. Plus my kids VW has an open airbag recall with no parts available for another year.
At least I can get the 0-60 timer added back, remote start seat cooling TSB and android auto update all at once

Both my 2016 Corvette and 2014 Silverado have this recall.
My Silverado now has three recalls, seat belt, trailer hitch and now the airbag. Last time I checked, my dealer did not have the parts available.

Thanks for selling me a car that isn't crap MacMulkin. Appreciate it.
Only problem is I had my airbag swapped out along with my Steering Wheel when I bought from Caravaggio. Since he recycles cores, I have no way to know if I received a defected one or not. RIP

This is why I love CF. Unfortunately my Vette is affected but I find out a day after the recall is issued as opposed to waiting for those stupid mailers - it also appears that the dealer never closed my anti-siphon fuel grid recall, either...
Thank you, MacMulkin, for sharing! You guys are great!

Thanks for sharing this.
Fortunately, neither my 2014 Corvette or 2014 GMC is on the published VIN list.
CONFUSED: The GM Recall Center says my vette is included in this recall, but my VIN is not on the list. Guess I need to call the dealer...
Rob at MacMulkin confirms my car is included. GREAT FOLLOWUP 2 YEARS AFTER THE SALE AND COURTESY DELIVERY!!
