About LinkBacksWell I got a recall notice in the mail today. Its to fix the possibility of the throttle body freezing. It appears the first 2 attempts didn't quite rectify the problem.
Anyone else get this notice yet?

Guess they can't get it right... no recalls on the throttle-by-wire 2006+ (regardless, my TB coolant is bypassed)
This got me thinking. I wonder if I could get off a speeding ticket like ontario's over 50 law saying my throttle body froze and I was on my way to the dealership to get the recall installed.dont worry, Im joking
I had a recall on my fuel line for the 07 sedan. the fuel line? come on.
Low n Slow
Certain vehicles equipped with a 1.6L engine may develop a fuel leak as a result of fuel line rupture in a frontal crash test. In addition, the crash damage caused four short circuits in the fuse block, the combination of which allowed the fuel pump to continue running, allowing fuel to be pumped onto the ground. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire. Correction: Dealers will replace the fuse block and install a redesigned section of fuel line.Originally Posted by boxkiller
OH MAN! haha...
This sounds like an 85-86 Camaro problem from back in the day. Dont they say your supposed to learn from your mistakes? LOL
hadnt got my notice yet...
OKay so I took my car in for the recall and they sure did do alot of work from the looks of it.
Now my engine bay looks really ugly I must say. They add this insulation wrap held on my hose clamps around a few of the tubes. Mind you some of the wrap is a bright orange. It reminds me of some haggard work my highschool autoshop teacher would do. Though they did clean up the throttle body, intake, and engine bay in general.
I'll get some pics soon, as my brother has the camera.
pix?
Here are a few pics, Im not sure they really show what is added/changed. Im too lazy to look for an engine bay pic of someone else's.
And just for fun a pic of my Broadway mirror
