TO WHO MAY CONCERN: I AM CAR TECHNICIAN WORKING AT A DAEWOO DEALER. DAEWOO HAS A RECALL ABOUT INSPECTING AND REPLACING THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR. ONLY A FEW SENSORS HAVE TO BE REPLACED ON THIS RECALL (WE NEED TO CHECK THE SERIAL NUMBER ON THE SENSORS TO SEE IF IT HAS TO BE RECALLED) BUT IN ALMOST ALL CARS I INSPECT, THE SENSOR IS BAD, SET A CODE FOR THE SENSOR AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, NOW I HAVE TO TELL THE CUSTOMER THEY NEED A SENSOR AND THE COST HAS TO BE PAID BY THE CUSTOMER, I THINK IT IS REALLY UNFAIR FOR THE CUSTOMER TO BRING THE CAR FOR A RECALL, AND THEY HAVE TO PAY. RECALL NUMBER 04V357000. *JB
