Failure:
State: CA
Is Dealership Offering Repair: They are investigating.
It's not a failure yet but I would like to report it to provide some data point. It's very likely the dealer reuse the o rings that should be replaced during the recall.
I won't go to this same dealer for future maintenance or repairs anymore. When they perform J02 recall, they even forgot to roll down the window before disconnecting the battery. It may cause some damage to the weather seals. The car now has rattles around the door.

I just finished my first oil change after the recall and sent the used oil for analysis. The report(attached) looks good. The car current is currently 3400 miles after the recall work was done. So I think my engine is OK after the recall. The car went through 3 track days without any issues. And the burning smell disappeared 3 months after last repair. I don't know why it takes so long but finally it disappeared.
