... be careful here; there's only a small number cars affected (approx. 5%) so even if there was only two weeks from your cars manufacture to it's delivery, there's only a small chance you would have been affected. Also consider that many of the cars here (including my own) were resolved with mechanical fixes only. Put another way; the fact your not having problems doesn't tell us much.

I imagine if you added the supply chain and levels of on-hand inventory to the timeline and then added how long it would take the average driver to travel 500-1500 miles from now that would probably give you 30-60 days from now for all of these cases to work themselves out of the system, and people to stop posting here, if the ECU fix is indeed the final fix...

...but because of the mechnical problems it's not
