I've noticed the "defenders" of the diff have remained mostly quiet on this thread.
This recall involves a leaky seal. No more, no less.
It looks to me as if GM recognized a seal problem from the beginning of reported problems, and started working, or having Getrag work, on a new design. While that was going on, and until they knew the solution was effective, they replaced seals as they failed. The 2008s got the new seal/yoke design, and it seems that GM is now confident that the redesign was successful. So they issue a recall to get the new parts installed.
If this is not an example of the way things are supposed to work, I don't know what is.
