weird. I thought that that was a very old recall and was mostly taken care of during
the first year of services. I'm surprised that your ignition lasted this long without issues.

I'll have to check into it again but I know there was an action/tsb a long time ago
for the ignition switch. It is the 4A0 ignition switch not the 4B0 which they started using in 98 sometime.
Yes I got this info a while back and I was wondering what the deal was with revisiting the ignition switch replacement.
