Serial Data Gateway Module recall

[so 650]

I just brought my car to a local dealership for an oil change (I know, I know) and they told me that this recall has recently been published, and they have to take care of it because the car is in their possession, which is just a software patch, but will take more time and cause some very minor inconvenience in my life.

Anybody know anything substantive about this recall?

Here's what I found.

I haven’t seen this update, interesting. I just checked for any recalls via Cadillac system and my doesn’t show any incomplete. None open.

I am getting my first oil change next week and they told me the same thing when I made my appointment. I was curious about it also. It sounded like it may take a while for the update.

I assume it's a 30 second software update, on most GM cars & trucks. But for technical reasons that are beyond me, it requires a 2-hour road test on Blackwings.

As I searched around, seems to be for 2024 model of GM vehicles focused on Truck & SUV’s. I couldn’t find any Cadillac except the Escalade, but, that’s why I checked on both of my 2022 GM vehicles. Interesting that they would say they need a 2hr road test, wow. Sorry, I wouldn’t accept that and who pays for all the fuel?

I was kidding about the road test. It did take 'em an extra 2 hours though.

I signed in and saw my car has this recall as well.

I think this is across the board with GM. I've seen it on different vehicles on the Carfax. Yukons, Tahoes, CT4, CT5. Seems random at this point.

I do know my dealer prefers recalls done early and they want the vehicle for most of the day. I think there's only one or two guys that do the recalls, plus they want to be sure it's all good before they let it go.

I had mine in for warranty replacement of both tail lights and flaking dash trim. They took care of this at the same time, no big deal.

I got the update done today with my first oil change. They estimated about 2 hours but it ended up taking closer to 4 hours. They said the software update can be unpredictable.
