Curly,

Thank you so much for the info. I was able to log into the site, pull
up the TSB and have emailed it to my sister-in-law.

She said she has had every service interval completed at the
dealership, so I told her to call her dealer and see what they will do.
I think the big issue is the car is away from her normal dealership,
but if the local dealer will work with her, it might make sense to tow
it the 300 miles.

Thanks again!!!
