Just ran my VIN# and pulled that recall. Do they just grease the latch or some BS?

I also know my car has had the fan recall done(I noticed the fuse thing they added), but that didn't pop up. Is that cause they already did it on my car?
I was hoping to get the e-brake one, cause mine needs adjusting, but o well.

The hood seperation, is when the top layer of fiberglass of the hood comes apart from the lower structure. I am pretty sure it happens right at the front lip of the hood. I think the repair involves adding some glue or something in that area. I don't have a stock hood anymore, so I never had it done.

I got the ebrake one done, it's a lil stiffer afterwards.

The hood recall is what was mentioned above, pull the hood liner out. There are two large indentations on the underside of the hood running lengthwise. If they are cut open and there's a bunch of Epoxy smeared on the seam, then the recall has been done. Wish I was co-located with my old hood, it had had it done already.....

Mootang, thanks for the pic.

And if it was a real Recall, I don't think it runs out.

It is a safety recall therefore they can not put a time limit on it. Other non safety recalls can expire either by time or mileage.
