Like i said took over an hour, was a bit of a hassle the guy said. Once they get through more of them I am sure it will be easier and quicker...but not many out there so I doubt there will be a bunch before you

Got my letter on Friday, and went to the dealer on saturday morning. They finished it in an hour for me. The brake booster and the hoodcable.

Then my salesman wants me to trade up to an X. If it was an MR for a good deal...I would've been intereested...

They punched my VIN in at the desk and said I had the brake booster check valve too. I wasn't aware of that one, but they did it anyways. I only received the letter for the hood latch cable.

Just get it done. You don't want to be at the dealer with mods and stuff.

Well I am at the dealership right now, since I'm good friends with a lot of the guys here they are doing both recalls, the hood latch cable and the brake booster. See if my brakes feel any better or anything noticaible. Also they are replacing my front chrome trim since mine cracked somehow. Keep u posted.
