Don't have a '03 but I alway like to see the recalls get posted. Especially the ones that address the possibility your car will catch fire! Man, I heard those 2003's were HOT but I had no idea....
By the way what's a "stratospheric mica"?

Re: recall on 2003
Hmm, I wonder if this could be the thud I've been hearing? The dealer said it was the fuel injectors pulsating. Eh, anyways, off to the dealer I go. Thanks for the heads up!
