I just signed up for this on my computer and I got a recall notice on the ABS system. I called my local dealer to find out what to do about it and they said they have no idea what I'm talkin' about. The federal safety agency campaign # is 99i006000 and stated that the dealers are to modify the computer program which operates the ABS unit.
