Would YOU do the recall or not?
I have a hard decision to make. Maybe owners who have done the recall already can help me.
I have a 2007 GXP which doesn't make any problems at all. It has been at the garage only for oil service so far. The rear axle differential works perfectly, no whine, no clunk. So I can say I am lucky. There is only one thing you guess already: the differential leaks a little bit. That means if the car stands in the garage for let's say 3 days, there are one or two drops of oil on the floor.
Next week I have an appointment for the recall. It was hard to find a repair shop which can do it at all here in Germany as the Soltice is not officially present on our market. And although I have no warranty actually, because the car was imported by myself, the garage would do it for free. It is a Cadillac dealer who has done a few differential recalls on Cadillacs which has the same differential as say they.
Some people recommend me not to make the recall, because the risk was too big. After all I have read there could be whine or clunk after that. There is also the risk that they damage the car when lifting it up. And finally there is no guarantee that the differential will be leakproof after that. So it could become a never ending story.
Not doing the recall would mean to check the fluid level from time to time and fill it up if needed. I could live with that. On the other hand it was nice to have the problem fixed, even for free which I didn't expected initially. But this could turn out as a nightmare.
So the question goes out to all who have done the recall: Would you do it again???
Thanks a lot for your input!
