Recall
Just had my car in for service, and noticed on the invoice there was a recall fixed. My SA didn't really give me too much info, is there anywhere else I can look up details on it? Pretty much all he told me was "It's a new recall, and was just an update to the computer"
This is what was on the invoice:
DRIVEABILITY RECALL
OPEN CAMPAIGN 200510005
PERFORMED RECALL

this service campaign has been initiated because DCAG has determined that on the affected vehicles a software characteristic may affect the rotational speed of the starter. The engine control unit was reprogrammed with optimized software to correct this condition.

Turns out my CEL came back on, and it's misfiring again, so I'll be back to talk to them tomorrow.
