NHTSA Complaint #10761054 — 2004 CADILLAC CTS-V

I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE OTHER RECALLS HANDLED AND WAS INFORMED MY BRAKE HOSE FITTINGS WERE RUSTED AND SHOULD BE REPLACED. UPON RESEARCHING THE ISSUE I FOUND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V225000 / GM RECALL 15149. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE DETAILED IN THE RECALL, HOWEVER I WAS TOLD THE RECALL IS NOT APPLICABLE TO ME. MY CAR FALLS WITHIN THE DATE RANGE FROM THE RECALL, BUT IS NOT IN ONE OF THE LISTED STATES. IT SEEMS CLEAR TO ME THAT I AM SUFFERING THIS ISSUE DUE TO THE SAME DEFECT, AND I SUSPECT MY VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED FOR THIS ISSUE DUE TO THE RECENTLY ISSUED RECALL, HOWEVER I AM NOT BEING COVERED BECAUSE I LIVE IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA AND NOT ~10 MILES AWAY IN MARYLAND OR DC. THE WEATHER IN MY LOCATION IS MORE OR LESS IDENTICAL TO THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA (IN FACT, THE SUBURBS OFTEN GET MORE SNOW), AND I DRIVE MY VEHICLE YEAR ROUND (INCLUDING TRIPS IN MD/DC/WV) ENCOUNTERING ROAD SALT WHEN APPLIED, WHICH IS THE STATED REASON FOR THE CORROSION. I AM UNAWARE OF THE VEHICLE'S HISTORY BUT FOR ALL I KNOW IF COULD HAVE SPENT MOST OF THE 7 YEARS PRIOR TO MY OWNERSHIP IN ONE OF THE LISTED STATES FROM THE RECALL. I FEEL THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO ALL VEHICLES IN AREAS WHICH EXPERIENCE SNOW THAT SHOW THE LISTED ISSUE.
