Yep I got one too, it says recall processing center on the front, then it says "this is not a recall" on the inside.

I was thinking about pulling into the dealership with my cutout open and the letter and seeing if they can "take a look".

Rebecca Mazur. I went to Sycamore HS, she went to Warren. She had a couple of sisters and a brother or two, and her mom lived way out in the boonies in a pretty run down house. I think she (her mom) did home care for the ederly.
