No... according to what I've been reading lately on this forum the code is for actually one of the two O2 sensors. I just forgot much one it was though.

9 out of 10x's it is the sensor and not the cat...therefore just as lookslikeanevo said: mitsu should be paying for it. they didnt pay for mine because....well i cut mine out before the PCM reflash.

SLVROZ, the code pulled should be in bank 1 sensor 2 if it is the recall...in other words, downstream o2 sensor in your cat.
