I called CS today to check if my car was affected and gave them my VIN and they said it wasn't, but I was thinking maybe it was too early for them to even determine yet? Has anyone else called to check?

Between all the TSIB's and now these "service campaigns", eventually, I'm going to have a brand new car.

Of all the cars I've owned, this one has had the most issues.

For real man??? These are trained techs who get to drive almost any car they want including the ISF. You think they really care about hot rodding your car?? They are probably more concerned with making money since they are on a flat rate pay.

bigL, what's involved in swapping out the fuel rails? Is it a big job?
