1st Recall??

[classrc]

So, I saw a post on FB (I know, TOTALLY reliable source ) that there is now a Safety Recall for the Sonic. Recall # 11354 released on 12/23... The Goog did not show any info on it, so don't know if it real...

Any of you hear about it? Could be total bogus, but thought I'd bring it up...

[classrc]

The guy that posted it on FB said he'd send me a pm with the details. Don't have it yet... He said its a Safety Recall that only affects certain model(s). Will post info if/when I get it.

Reason For This Recall: GM has decided to conduct a voluntary Emission Recall involving certain 2012 Chevrolet Sonic vehicles. The fuel filler hose clamp may not be fully connected to the inlet check valve and release vapors into the air. An inaccurately installed clamp may result in an inadequate seal between the fill hose and the inlet check valve. If this occurs, there may be an odor of fuel and the Check Engine light may illuminate.

What Will Be Done: Your Chevy dealer will inspect the fuel filler hose clamp, and if necessary, reposition and reconnect the hose. This service will be performed for you at no charge.

so how can we check if or is our sonic one that is in the recall????

I don't see how the recall referenced is a "safety recall". It is in fact an "Emissions Recall". So, in other words I am calling BS until an official notice is received by Sonic owners, or when someone posts a link to a site that shows a safety recall.

I bought my car last month. I have a scheduled complementary 30 day check up tomorrow morning. I will ask at the dealership about this emissions recall and post what I find out.

Safety recall != emissions recall

I just left the dealership. They check my cars vin and it does not have any recalls on it.

They looked up the problem that is mentioned above in this thread and it does exist on some cars. To find out if your car is part of the recall just call the dealership and give them your vin. The dealership will be able to check on it. He showed me photos of what the problem is and it seems to be an easy fix. It is just resetting a hose clamp where the refill openning goes into the gas tank.
