I recieved a Recall notice on Saturday. Its from Chevy at the Recall Information Processing Center.. It a Presorted First Class post card. Turn the card over and it reads:This sevice will be performed at NO CHARGE to the owner Schedule your Appointment Today.

My questions are did anyone get anything like this and what is this all about??

I took care of that like the next day but this card I got on Saturday which was yesterday. Also it does have my camaros vin # on it. Would this be anything about the transmission that I had read about like 3 weeks ago?

take it to your dealer, they'll fix or change out whatever it needs for free!
