      Hello,
      Can anyone shed some light on this recall?
      I was unable to drive my brand new Impala off the lot on 8/8/2014 because of this safety recall. It was announced on 8/8/2014 as we were at the dealer signing the paperwork and handing over a check.
      It sounds like a console latch needs to be replaced. Just wondering why its taking over a week to get the fix info to the dealer?

      Loyal GM family member,
      Bruce

      Update:

      The service manager got the info from GM about the recall procedure. They inspected the latch and it was not involved in the recall.

      Thanks for the update, @BruceWinters.

      Would you know if the recall-triggering issue was specifically with the latch on the center console itself?
