Wondering if I can get a data card and if I'm affected, I'm a 2011. I just bought mine and am curious. Also, will the data card say if I am P31 or not? I have some features of the package but not all.

Thanks!

VIN is invalid. You're missing a digit.

Datacard attached. The car is not affected by the head bolt issue. Not sure what you mean when you write that you have some of the P31 components. The car is not P31 and does not have the LSD.

Joe

Thanks! I have suede steering wheel and red calipers but no carbon fiber lip spoiler so I wasn't sure. Thanks for the clarification.

Take a hard look at the sn of the engine. Many 11's were affected and came off the assembly line prior to the change. I made SURE I bought one clear of the switch.

Just because it is a 2011 does NOT mean you don't have the defective head bolts.

Did they upgrade to the SLS valve buckets when they went with the new head bolts?
