Got my letter today
 

I got my recall notice today. Here it is.

I don't know what I'm going to do about it. Since my car has over 145,000 miles on it with no problems what so ever. I know one thing I'm not going to do. I'm not going to be the first in my area to get it done. If I have it done at all. After seeing what's involved, I don't see how the local yocals could possibly not screw something up. Maybe I should just leave well enough alone.

^ ya, I hear that - :iono:

My 2013 FRS only has about 23,000 miles on it, and I'm not sure what I'm gonna do when/if I get a recall letter.

I looked over that post showing all the things they will have to do - and I ask myself, NOW, what are the chances of my engine surviving all that without at least a leak - ??

humfrz

Got mine yesterday...




Your info is blacked out in the first pic, but visible in the second?

You know, the car was assembled by the Japanese equivalent of your local yocals right? It wasn't assembled by some master mechanic with some level of Zen training. Just saying...

Actually our cars have similar mileage and I was thinking the opposite. This is a good opportunity to get a LOT of zero mileage parts on my car, particularly seals, gaskets and such. I would be more likely to NOT do this if my car had fewer miles on it. I would wait until I had over 100K miles then take it in rather than replacing relatively new parts that work.

Just a different way of looking at it. It's the same reason I had the "cricket TSB" done right before the warranty expired. I didn't need it, but it zeroed out my pump.

I just got the dealer invitation as well...

Yep. Fix the timing cover leak, replace a bunch of seals, coolant and spark plug change (gotta pay for the plugs but saves the PITA labor). That's a nice little refresh. I just hate I have to get it done to renew my reg in CA as I wanted to drive another 20k miles before my plugs and coolant were due again. Guess they'll just get changed early.

I think you should do what you feel like doing, Bruce.

My local yokels built an entire engine for mine under warranty when the oil pump gear exploded. 30K miles later it still seems to be doing fine.

Got mine also
 

But I will ignore the letter as I replaced the springs with hi-end stuff when I built the engine along with custom machined rocker blockers.
Funny thing, I almost said no to the upgrade ! :bonk:


Glad I didn't say no :D

Blacked out the plastic of the envelope window, not the letter itself.

Thanks, I understand how an envelope works...


If OP was going to show his name and address; Why black out the envelope?


I thought OP may have done it on accident. So, if he didn't want his details on blast, I was just trying to point it out for him to correct.

At 145 000 miles, if the valve springs were defective they would have gone a long time ago. I would skip the recall, and keep the letter in case it ever does happen. AFAIK there isn't a deadline or timeline to accept your recall.

are you sure this recall not being performed would prevent you from getting your registration renewed?

When that huge airbag recall was going on I dont believe I heard any registration renewals being halted for that not being done.

WTF?
