So isn't a lawsuit to get a recall to fix the head bolts replaced ? and there a cheaper way to change them like buying a warranty or some type of insurance to cover them ??

great thank you!!! Is it possible to get that data card?? The dealer is saying it has the development package which I’m assumijg is the p31 since it’s 2011. Does that have the sport differential everyone talks about?

Also when you say it’s not affected, are you meaning the upgraded headbolts were used?? Sorry new to all this.
