Recall on ‘22 GC 4xe?

Ask the Hackrs

Got a deal agreed to last night with a dealer in South FL. ‘22 GC 4xe $510 a month, $1200 DAS. 64k MSRP. Everything was in text with the salesman.

Today I kept asking for a worksheet before I make the hour drive. He kept saying they are busy but would get it to me asap or I could just come in. I said I would come in as soon as they send the worksheet reflecting the numbers they agreed to via text.

An hour later they texted me saying they can’t sell the car due to a recall on ‘22 GC 4xes. Is this legit or shady dealer behavior?

Thanks all. Go figure, after 7 weeks of trying to get a deal, a recall hits the day I finally lock one in lol.

That CR article says it’s for the gas GC. Try punching the 4xe VIN into the NHTSA’s site to see if it’s affected

I own a 2022 GC 4XE Base model, and i entered the VIN into the NHTSA recall site and it found 1 recall that is about 1 week old…

I am in exactly the same situation. Been dealing with multiple dealers in StL, found a ‘22 Overland, and he said oops, sorry…can I get a deposit if I send you the numbers, don’t know when we can deliver… :woozy_face:

Yup same. Mine offered to give me a loaner in the meantime. I may take it if they cave a bit more on the pricing.

Any reason I shouldn’t? I kind of need a car this weekend.
