Amid the Toyota recall hubbub, a little, tiny — though related — GM recall of the Pontiac Vibe went largely unnoticed, unless you happen to own a Vibe, like Mitch.

He writes:

Just letting you know that today I received a recall letter regarding the Toyota recall. This came as a surprise to me since I don’t OWN a Toyota vehicle. It turns out that the GM-made Pontiac Vibe is essentially a Toyota Matrix under the hood – and apparently in the pedals as well! GM Canada is calling in all Pontiac Vibes to help take care of the issue. Just thought I’d let you know!

If your vehicle has been recalled, how has the repair process gone?
