DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CAMSHIFT POSITION CENSOR WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS BLINKING ON A DAILY BASIS FOR OVER ONE MONTH. THE MANUAL STATED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REFERRED TO THE CAMSHIFT CENSOR POSITION. A RECALL LETTER, #04V357000, WAS RECEIVED FOR THE CAMSHIFT CENSOR POSITION. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER TO SERVICE THE RECALL, THE DEALER DETERMINED THE RECALL DID NOT APPLY BECAUSE THE CAMSHAFT POSITION CENSOR WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH THE VIN# WAS LISTED AS PART OF THE RECALL. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM COULD BE FIX FOR A FEE.

TO WHO MAY CONCERN: I AM CAR TECHNICIAN WORKING AT A DAEWOO DEALER. DAEWOO HAS A RECALL ABOUT INSPECTING AND REPLACING THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR. ONLY A FEW SENSORS HAVE TO BE REPLACED ON THIS RECALL (WE NEED TO CHECK THE SERIAL NUMBER ON THE SENSORS TO SEE IF IT HAS TO BE RECALLED) BUT IN ALMOST ALL CARS I INSPECT, THE SENSOR IS BAD, SET A CODE FOR THE SENSOR AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, NOW I HAVE TO TELL THE CUSTOMER THEY NEED A SENSOR AND THE COST HAS TO BE PAID BY THE CUSTOMER, I THINK IT IS REALLY UNFAIR FOR THE CUSTOMER TO BRING THE CAR FOR A RECALL, AND THEY HAVE TO PAY. RECALL NUMBER 04V357000. *JB
