Seems like the failure thread is getting a lot of hits. I just recently took mine in, but haven't got the car back yet. Any updates from people who got their cars back locally? Everything still ok?

I agree with you, but I wouldn't want to go to a dealership that said they weren't willing to work on the car due to mods and force the issue and have them work on it. This recall is pretty involved...

Valve Spring Recall Dealers

Hi All,

I wanted to know if any of you guys got the recall done and how it went. I thought it would be helpful to have a list of dealerships people recommend in our area.

I haven’t gotten...

It seems like my car is affected by this stupid recall. My car has headers and a tune, any idea if the recall will require a new tune or if they will hassle me due to the mods?
