No, zero, and as I've said here a few times, this recall was driven entirely by fear of litigation even in the face of the science - both theoretical and experimental - which clearly showed that the defective units, as expected, all failed within a couple thousand miles. Most failed right away. The crisis was over long before the recall had been issued.

My car is a recall candidate.
