I read all of these messages with interest, but I'm still wondering:
does this recall apply to all years, or is it more specific? We have
an early '06, but we have yet to receive a recall notice.

It applies to all 04s and 05s, and to some early 06s.

I haven't gotten my notice yet, even though mine is an '05.
Of course, it could have gone to the neighbors, who would
never see that it got to the addressee. :-( BUT I am
probably going to schedule my 15K maintenance for the end of
next week (ideally it would by July 3rd, but I question the
wisdom of that), so I will see if I can get that work done then.
