What should I tell my service advisor?
I will be calling for an appointment to check my early redline shifts. What are some of the current campaigns
1. support bracket for secondary air flap?
2. throttle valve for transmission(transmission valve body)?
3. "switchover valve"...is this same as 1. or 2. above?
4. brake squeal campaign?
5. oil dipstick?
Would appreciate help from someone who knows or had any of these issues corrected. Thanks

Item 2-3 I think is the same thing....they won't do anything unless the transmission is shifting VERY hard either up or down
Item 4 they will do BUT only if the squeel is very loud
Item 5 they will replace the dipsstick ONLY if your engine shows low oil and the dipstick is incorrect. I have an incorrect dipstick, but the dealer won't replace the dipstick because the readings are ever so slightly off.
Hope this helps...

that is what I had done, car just runs better, tell them it shifts too quickly out of first. Should have a software update.
