Yep, realized that after I asked. Apologies

Plus, I need the headbolts replaced anyway.

Because you are not in US. As pointed out previously, your 2010 is US 2011 model year.

Thanks,

You have a pre 2010 US vehicle, so yes it's affected.

Just out of curiosity....Are 2010 cars affected?

JUST KIDDING. Valvestud you are a patient man.

On a more serious note...what is the highest VIN you have seen that has "tested positive"?
Mines an 09 so it is in the mix fer sure.

Joe, Can you check my VIN, WDDGF7HB7BF648159. Sorry if this is a duplicate request as I posted on the Sticky post, but noticed no one had been on that for a few days.

Thanks, Ben

You have a 2010 US car, so yes it's affected.

Not sure where you're located, but the Datacard indicates a U.S. car. If so, you should be a 2010, not 2011. Regardless, your engine number is in the affected range.


Regards, and happy holiday to you as well.
