I got that notice a month or so ago. Our car is in the class 2 settlement but we have not had to replace the turbo so no damages were due.

Your wife hasn’t driven it hard enough. 😉

I think she has driven it hard enough @jtsanders….

Whenever I get into the car the MPG meter is always _lower_ than when I drive it. 😆

A couple of years ago her battery finally gave up (at 7 years!) at the grocery store so I drove the truck over and jumped it. When I followed her home, I could not keep up with her! 🤣 🏁 She likes fast cars!

We must have been fortunate enough to get one of the good turbos as not all the cars had the problem.
