That's what I am thinking too.. I'm assuming these are interface motors? I probably should have done a bit more research before diving head-first, but here I am

Now to hoping that it really is a failed spring and that the recall takes care of whatever other damage may have been caused but from reading all the horror stories over the past week I am not too optimistic about a smooth transaction with the dealer this weekend... I haven't come across a thread where the car had already suffered a spring failure prior to going in for the recall work so I'm not quite sure what to expect..
