[richardad]

Wondering if any one recieved a recall notice yet? I read in the Los Angeles Times and did a search on the net to find out that there is is a part that if it goes bad would leak oil into the engine and could seize it. Also included were the Prius and certain Echo's .. The dealer couldn't tell me much except to just wait till i got the notice.
