The STS uses the same rear diff, as does the GTO....however they aren't in the recall. What is really stupid...component parts are not serviced for these Getrag rear diffs! If that were the case....GM could save lots of $$$$$$

Toyota is 2nd lowest at about 700-800K units for the year. Ford, Chrysler, Nissan and VW all are way up there, over 1 million or more. These are NHTSA stats only. |

Re: GM to recall 275,936 cars in U.S. due to fluid leak
basically, every single late model RWD car they sell.
Hmmm. Not good. Not good at all.

Re: GM to recall 275,936 cars in U.S. due to fluid leak
Had the leak in the rear axle on our 2007 STS 'repaired' twice under warranty but it still leaks. Hopefully, this recall fixes the problem this time.

OK my question is who agreed to outsource this in the first place? I guess I'm the only one here who thinks that (from the point of view of the customer) recalls are a GOOD thing. It does not take rocket science to figure out the common problems each car has... From Mopar transaxels to Toyota sludge to Cadillac headgaskets... What makes an automaker great these days is the ones who say... "Yup that design has issues, we stand behind our product and we want your business in the future" Of the three examples above only one maker said yes that was our mistake and we will make it right. I'm Pro GM too, but not so blindly that I will agree that everything this company does is right... There are a few on this forum who have drunk a little too much "GM kool-aid". |

Re: GM to recall 275,936 cars in U.S. due to fluid leak
My 2004 CTS had that. Supposedly it's quite common on those diffs. When I mentioned it last year to my Caddy dealer all they said was: "Yup. No problem. Bring it in." They had it fixed in no time.
I noticed a bit of oil on the garage floor. From the look of where it was leaking it wouldn't be able to empty. The design is such that at worst it'd empty down to 2/3rds or 1/2, but not all the way. Still, glad it got recalled so those less likely to notice don't get caught with a seized diff. |

You know, if GM's entire fleet was FWD, this wouldn't have happened

I was a sole supplier to the Big 3 throughout the 80s and 90s on a variety of exposed and unexposed parts. There were two key responsibilities.... NEVER EVER run out of material....If you do you are responsible for any and all costs to replace that material. If any recall is caused by defect in your material you the subcontractor/supplier are fully responsible for any and all recall costs. |
