If there is a factory recall on my car, will there any out of pocket expense i will have to pay?

Hello, factory emissions or safety recall are available until they are resolved. But it could also be that the problem you are having is not related to any open recall on the vehicle. Consult your local GM dealership for guidance. Have your vehicle identification number (VIN) handy and they will tell you if you have any open recalls on the vehicle. My gut feeling is that no open recall will directly address the concern your vehicle is actively having, and you will likely need to pay for diagnostic testing and repairs. But, consult the dealership first for free information.
