I still am baffled why they recalled for this. There have been other issues that would cause the car to stall that they just issued TSBs for (the TOB and injectors on the early ones).
People also are forgetting, didn't know about, or are just ignoring the oil system failures that resulted in spun bearings on cars that had came straight from the factory. We have about 30 spun bearings reported on this forum before the recall was even thought of much less made. Most of those failures were cars from the same date range as the recall and the majority of the info we received included silicone blocking channels. I bet many of the others where no cause was found (or were blamed on low oil) also had sealant where it didn't belong but it was never found since nobody dug deep enough to see it.
So, with the current
known number of post recall failures the odds of an issue are only slightly worse than they were right from the start.
