I just got off the phone with the dealer and it's emmissions software upgrade. It'll take about 1.5 hours I guess.

I was just going to say that. It's been done already on my car. There are others I haven't figured out yet but I need to make a dealer appt. for one drooping headlamp since I'm under warranty.

So I'll get the rest of them interpreted at that time.

Imagine 14K miles and the headlamp broke. This is a pretty pathetic record. I wonder if the heavier suspension plays a role in these failures.
The screw fix is probably the real cure but if I do that I will have voided the warranty.

Good luck with your update.

A Search will get more on J004 (if you really want more).

I don't think heavier suspension would be any cause of the headlamp issue - it's just a weak, crappy design

Check this thread out:

"PERFORMED JOO4 OP D. PROGRAM ECU AND TCM (DONT USE SPORT MODE BEFORE 200 MILES)"

They will reflash the ECU and TCM during that recall. The TCM reflash seems to help with shifting, even the "lurch" if you have had any issues with that?
