“A friend of mine just showed me a letter he got in the mail that is a recall to fix the reduced engine power code that shows a throttle body needs repaired.. The letter says to bring his vehicle in if it is a GM or chevy model less than 10 years old and less than 150000 miles and they will fix it for free. I contacted GM to see if my Gmc was on the list and they told me to take it to a dealer and have a diagnostic done. …”
