Is there anything I can do Legally, this recall stuff is nonsense and especially since they don't have a resolution, i don't i think i can legally sell my vehicle with an outstanding warranty issue which i planned on doing next month. I just had the DEF Tank and nox sensors and EGR valve replaced at the dealer and heard a sound like the idler pulley was making a noise at idle when i first got my vehicle back but the service manager stated that this is what happens when cars sit for a day... He drove it with me in the vehicle and drove it hard and put a load on the vehicle buy pressing the brakes then the gas but no noise came back.
Any thoughts?
Best Regards!

Sucks because the dealer won't replace the bolt unless it is loose or it snaps off.. mine snapped without warning, luckily I was near my house and I was able to drive home (not recommended if you are far away). You can ask the dealer to see if there is any service history showing that the bolt was replaced in the past.. mine was replaced at 45k and then at 125k so it lasted for 80k before it snapped again.
