Does any one have any info on this. I took my 96 camaro to the dealer because my ses light was on and I was getting a p400 code, and I heard that there was a recall for the egr. The dealer said that there was no recall. I cant seem to find any info on this and was hoping that somebody knows a way for me to prove to the dealer that there is infact a recall, any info would be great.

 

I havnt heard of any such recall. That doesn't mean there isn't though, but if there was, by law, the dealer would HAVE to fix it. Chances are, there is no recall.

 

there is a recall and you should not have to pay a thing for the new egr valve I have a complete print out for the campaign:

So if your lucky enuf to have your vin in between those breakpoints and your car under 100,000 miles then you get a free EGR valve!!!!

 

Well there you go... I've been proven wrong.

 

Yeah, I qualify for the recall but I called a number of dealers and they said that there is no such recall. Can you please email me the print out if possible at andrewmirza@yahoo.com Thanks

 

Or if you know any other ways I can prove to the dealer that there is a recall that would be great

 

Honestly I dont have a scanner and its on papers in my hand sorry but if you tell them (or prolly best if you ask them) to look up a bulletin # 00096 it should come up on there computer and if it dont then they are lying and they just dont wanna mess with it... I know a few dealers that are actually like that, but Im a Service Technician at a chevy place and I looked at all campaigns on my 97 and i printed it out thats y i just so happen to have it

 

Thanks, I gotta wait untill monday because all the service centers are closed. Untill then, if anyone has a egr recall sheet that they can email me please send it to andrewmirza@yahoo.com Thanks for the help

 

I got the same thing, they told me that it was to late to get the recall. For the egr and the air pump.

 

Was it too late because you were over 100,000 miles?

 

nah I the car has 66k. They said that it was to late b/c its been too long since they issued that recall.

 

I thought the recall expires if the car has more than 10 years of 100,000 miles. If thats the case then thats real crappy

 

yea thats what I thought too.

 

I believe emissions equipment is required by law to have a 'warranty' of 10yrs/100kmi. Of course dealers can be dicks about that because it pays pratically nothing for warranty work. (according to alldata) --> However, the only actual RECALL for a 96Z is the air pump. The EGR has no recall notice or TSB. (once again, according to alldata). But hey, if you can convince them to fix your stuff... then more power to ya.
