Potential Number of Units Affected: 378

It's my understanding that 4 or 5 left the factory with this problem and all were corrected at the dealerships.

When I looked at the report date, I saw today's date, so assumed it was a new recall. I guess it likely was just the date I requested to see the recall notice instead.

Sorry for the false alert!
