It's on NA letterhead but NA isn't on the list of geographic locations. Does that mean we're recalled or not? It might be that they're simply notifying NHTSA to comply with the laws. Then again, why would our cars be that different in how the yaw rate sensor is mounted?...

Rudy, would that explain the fault messages that have shown up on two occasions in HUD. They disappear during the next startup? I think I will ask about it. Since our vehicles were on the assembly line at the same time, you might be affected, too.

JDN, I'm not sure what fault messages you're talking about. Clearly our cars are the same vintage down to a few days but I don't think I'm getting any fault messages in the HUD...

Well, I've had two fault messages indicating that maximum braking and stability had been comprised.

Could it just be your driving habits, JDN?

Could be, realty, but, hardly since it did not occur on track day.
