NOT 2 DAYS AFTER REGULAR SCHEDULED SERVICE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD IN MID 2005. I CONTACT THE DAEWOO DEALER THAT HAD BEEN THE SOLE PROVIDER OF SERVICE FOR THE CAR SINCE I PURCHASED IT FOR ADVISE. AFTER BETTER SECURING THE GAS CAP, I HAD NO PROBLEM. THE DEALER IS NO LONGER A DAEWOO SERVICE PROVIDER. THE SAME THING SEEMED TO OCCUR INTERMITENTLY SINCE THEN. I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC CHECKUP I WAS INFORMED THAT THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WAS THE CAUSE OF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. WHILE GETTING AN ESTIMATE ON AN AIR CONDITIONER REPAIR, A TECHNICIAN MENTIONED THE SENSOR AS A RECALL ITEM HE WAS AWARE OF AS A FELLOW DAEWOO OWNER. I CHECKED MY SERVICE RECORDS AND WAS NOT CLEAR IF THE SENSOR HAD BEEN CHECKED OR REPLACED. I CHECKED THE DAEWOO AND NHTSA WEB SITES AND BECAME AWARE THIS CONDITION ( REFERENCED AS DAEWOO RSB-001-04/NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 04V357000 FOR DAEWOO MOTOR AMERICA - NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 04V394000 FOR DAEWOO MOTOR DE PUERTO RICO) MIGHT CAUSE AN UNDERHOOD FIRE IF IT WAS NOT ADDRESSED. I WENT TO A DEALER SERVICE LOCATION IDENTIFIED FROM THE DAEWOO WEB SITE WHERE I WAS INFORMED THE SENSOR SHOULD BE REPLACED BUT THE PART NUMBER OR MY VIN FELL OUTSIDE THE NUMBERS USED FOR NO CUSTOMER CHARGE REPLACEMENTS. I PAID TO HAVE THE CAR FIXED TO REMOVE THE POSSIBILITY OF FIRE OR OTHER DISASTROUS OUTCOMES. *NM
