This recall is exaclty what is wrong with my 2004 GMC Savanna Van. For some reason my VIN # does not fall into the range of VIn's that have this problem. Unfortunatly I am going to fix myself since GMC is stating that this problem is at risk for fire. I have already called GMC phone # (listed above) and got someone who simply told me what I already know (its not covered). It should be covered but I am not going to wait and put my family at risk. Customer service is a thing of the past, todays customer service is just a voice sitting behind a computer looking at the same thing I can look up myself on the internet. What a waste.
