So is this official? Can I now take my Yukon in for the official inspection?

Until you receive the recall notice in the mail, you are not “officially” recalled.

I just spoke to the service manager at my local dealer. He said they are opening up the recall in groups according to VIN number. As of today my vehicle hasn’t been “opened” but they are opening up more every day. Once we are “opened” we can take the vehicle in for the inspection.

And even then you probably can't take it in. I got my airbag recall in the mail well over a year before they could replace it. They had the parts but had to abide by a strict VIN # sequence. It wasn't a first come first served scenario.

He made it sounds like once my vin# is opened up i can bring it in. He also said GM has authorized dealers to “put people in vehicles” if their engine fails.

Yes, but "Opened Up" is the part that @vcode is saying is the critical piece. GM has a system w/ all the vehicles they have ever produced, called "Investigate Vehicle History." Until GM marks your vehicle as "open" for the recall (right now it may be in "remedy not available"), the dealer can't work on your vehicle...so will be dependent on GM to get it opened up...which is what your dealer was saying.

Yes that is basically how he explained it. He told me reach out next week to see if my vehicle is “open” for the recall.

You should be able to watch it on the GM owner center web site, and when it says “open” without the “remedy not available” message, you know you are good

There is absolutely no reason to believe that engines with correctly manufactured parts and proper maintenance won't make it to 200K miles. None. There is no evidence of a 100% part defect rate....

Tell me that when these odometers hit 200.

Ahhh, yes I see that now. Thanks!
