I scheduled mine for next Monday and the service rep said it will take no more than 3 hours so I shouldn't need a loaner. Does anyone know whether the recall will be closed if they only do part of the work, like testing the battery for codes and doing the software update?

@fani would come armed with the resource guide to show dealer. They're quoting you that quick because they don't want to do all the other things they're supposed to in Z11 that aren't necessarily tied to the battery but to the experience chrsyler wants us to have as their way of apologizing for all the trouble we've been thr. So the car wash in and put, fully charging your battery and full tank of gas AND Z11 itself is not possible in just 3 hrs. If you don't care about the nice extras then...well that's your call.

They usually overpromise and underdeliver, so I fully expect more than 3 hours. And I'm OK with not getting the niceties. I just want the stupid recall closed so I can park in the garage again. I know the risk is small, but if your house burns down due to the car with an open recall, I am betting insurance would fight a payout. I wish I had the repair instructions part of the guide. That is the part that most concerns me. And I would run to another dealer,but the only other one in the area is booked for over a month out.

I got my done. It only took 2 hours! But unfortunately the dealership crashed my van into another car on the lot. The manager said he would fix it for free, but they want to review the video cameras before they promise me a rental for the 3 days they will have my only car.
