Yes, the ongoing appreciation of your efforts by many people on this forum.

 

Sorry, I guess I can read time but not dates. Duh
I do very much appreciate ChvyMgr's participation in the forum.

 

It's being beaten to death in this thread.

 

I got a similar recall for my GP that replaced the latch on the armrest that lifted up and covered a storage area. When they were done with the recall, the armrest was actually easier to open. Some recalls are just completely assinine. Yet there is no recall for my brakes that don't work after the car has been sitting for a while.
