And some dealers will tell you everything is up to date just before your warranty runs out even if it's not. I never had the HVAC done and no one told me even though I kept complaining about my AC not functioning. Now that I've learned there was a correction, the manufacturer will not correct it, because nobody made note of my complaints. Ugh.There is a big difference (financially) between a recall and a TSB aka service bulletin.
A recall (such as the shifter replacement) will be covered even after the warranty expires. The TSBs (such as the HVAC drain holes) are done at no cost to the owner (Lotus pays the dealer a certain number of hours/portions of hour for each TSB they fulfill -- ie .4 hours for the HVAC drain holes, IIRC) while under warranty, but they are chargeable to the owner after the warranty period is over. Whether or not one is charged for the TSB after warranty expiration would be dealer dependent but I doubt many would do them for free.
At any rate, if you call your closest dealer or choice of dealer and ask them to run your VIN for any outstanding campaigns, they will most likely freely tell you what is available as far as recall work and/or TSBs for your car.
That was just wrong :no:. Sometimes I wonder how the world continues to function.And some dealers will tell you everything is up to date just before your warranty runs out even if it's not.

I haven't been able to find any recall info or TSB info on the door locks.I was once told there was a "recall" on the door lock cylinders. Mine are fine so :shrug:
Coincidentally, I know where there SHOULD be a recall, but that never happened.![]()
