HMMMM....that's horrible. I may be in the same boat. I just got my outlook 2 weeks ago, although I have not recieved any letters like the one you've posted. Did you just get this letter?

go to gmownercenter.com and register with your vin it will list recalls to your vehicle or just call the dealer give them vin they will also tell you. My second recall was for brake assist in cold temperatures but I think this applies to Canada and Alaska only, not sure why as it says that brake assist can fail or be extremely limited in colder conditions, they replace a valve that can freeze. Hope you dont ride in cold weather anyone.
