Anyone in the loose bolt recall group taken delivery or turned in their car yet?

[Papa T]

Just curious if anyone has had experience with this recall work being completed. I'm in the recall, and my car has an ETA of 3/16. I won't be surprised if my actual delivery is after that, but I do wonder if anyone knows if this is a relatively quick fix or not. I'm assuming we don't have anyone with experience yet, at least I haven't heard anyone comment.

My dealer did say that they thought it would be a quick fix, but I'm skeptical as to how knowledgeable they really are on the issue.

I sold my Bolt to the local Nisan dealer. They had the highest instant offer from carfax ($1,000 higher than the local Chevy dealer). I didn’t want the Ford dealer to jam me up last minute over the recall, so I sold the Bolt a couple weeks before my MMe arrived.

I think he was talking about the recall for loose bolts, not the Chevy Bolt. But that was the first thing I thought of too.

Yes, I should have made my question more clear. I was talking about the loose bolt recall. Unless I’ve missed a post, which is ENTIRELY possible with the volume of topics on here, I haven’t heard of anyone having this recall work done yet.

I ended up throwing “loose” into the title in the hopes that makes it more clear.

Yeah, not that I’ve seen. Mine isn’t included in the recall (1/19 build date), but I also haven’t gotten the car yet.

Mine arrived in evening of 3/9 and the dealer took care of recall next day. I'm picking it up on Tuesday.

I took delivery on 3/11, and the dealer told me they inspected for the loose subframe bolt as part of their pre-delivery inspections. not sure if they found the bolt was loose. But as inspections go, a loose bolt should be easy-peasy

That’s awesome, and what I was hoping for. Like I said, my dealer was optimistic about being able to take care of it quickly, but so much of the rest of this process has been so new to them, that I just wasn’t sure.

Thanks so much for the info.

Now why would you do that...we were all looking forward to the responses.

Well that’s humbling- sorry

No! Not at all!

Like I said, my description was lacking. It’s not on you. I’m sorry for the confusion my lack of clarity caused. Hope you have a great rest of your day.
