A bit of an inconvenience, to be sure, but a free motor is a free motor!
That was Ichabod Crane, if I recall, the white 2014.

They mention 'noise at startup' and 'in rare cases....engine may need to be replaced' in the recall notice. Wonder how many cars got (or have not had) the ECU reflash, and how common is engine replacement?

Just seems strange to me, that a slightly rich condition at cold startup causes such damage.
Not disagreeing, just not understanding.
