Does anyone know if the current recall to fix the XM delay, ONSTAR powerloss, and transmission PCM simply reprogramming or are they replacing parts?

I don't know if I want to take mine in since all that stuff seems to be working fine. With my luck, problems will begin after the fix.


Thanks

i say if things work then dont bother taking it in. If things break then take it in

I think the acura link control module is actually replaced. The PCM is a software update I am sure. Onstar I am not sure about. Look at the PDF of the TSB in the other thread and see if it calls for replacement of parts - that is the intructions that the technicians will use to do the work.

Not a recall, but a technical service bulliten. Big difference.

The details of what is performed can be found here -> https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=998

Just click on the link to the PDF and read the procedures within . . .

Just to be clear, there is no recall on the RL. Those are service bulletins where upgrade/adjustments are being made, primarily to software. I believe only the transmission software update is actually Acura as the others are XM and Onstar related. I would suggest inquiring whether your vin # is covered in the bulletins as I don't think more recently purchased RLs may need all of the updates, but not sure about that. I have a very low/early vin # so all applied to me and had them done during recent scheduled oil change. Worth inquiring imho.
