Dealer did the GM recall on inside door handles on my 07 Yukon. New GM kit only has replacement door handles so they have to remove the entire door panels to retro fit. Takes 2 hours instead of 30 minutes with old kit service man said. New handles don't have a seam on top to peel.

Karman,
Where did you get the recall for the 07 yukon? I was only to find it for the 07 Tahoe? I have seen the letter that was posted on this forum but it says 07 tahoe will the dealer honor that letter for the Yukon or did you receive a letter that states the Yukon? I really need for the dealer to replace them because my family has gotten cut once or twice on all handles.

Really shouldn't matter if it's a GM Vehicle, I would just go to the dealer and explain the problem, which is what I did, even though I have a Yukon I went to the local Chevy dealer, had them replaced without any problem...

My letter was for my vin # but all Yukon's and Tahoe's are covered for 10 years. Printout says one kit for both door handles. Dealer kept my letter though. Service writer said he had seen very few rear door handles with problem so far.

will they replace them even if they are not peeling?

Hello,

This is a special coverage, which is pretty much an extended warranty for this issue. Not to say a dealership might not do this, but they are not authorized to do this. Here is some of the information that I have on this:

This special coverage covers the condition described above for a period of 10 years or 100,000 miles (160,000 km), whichever occurs first, from the date the vehicle was originally placed in service, regardless of ownership or mileage. Dealers are to replace the front and/or rear chrome interior door handle levers if signs of peeling are present. The repairs will be made at no charge to the customer. For vehicles covered by Vehicle Service Contracts, all eligible claims with repair orders on or after July 16, 2010, are covered by this special coverage and must be submitted using the labor operation codes provided with this bulletin. Claims with repair orders prior to July 16, 2010, must be submitted to the Service Contract provider.

Hope this helps and please let me know if I can be of assistance in the future.

I just came across this and was wondering if replacement is still available, and if the car has more than 100,000 miles? The front door latchedlatches on my 2007 Tahoe are peeling badly and need replacement. I don't remember getting any bulletin, but it used to be my wife's and she wasn't the best at letting me know about things like this.

I bought new ones on eBay for $15 and replaced them myself. Took about 1hr for both doors.
