Good one, but it didn't have a hotline for U.S customers, but just listed the Europeans.

One of my wife's girlfriends also told us about it, so it was apparently in the local news or something.
From what I read, they will likely do the repair when the car is in for service rather than actually recall them for a mandatory repair.

Kind of odd that they would use a photo with the story that has a Porsche sitting between 2 MBZs.
The photo was from an entirely differnt story about recovered luxury vehicles that were discovered/tracked to South America.
