Thanks for the "heads up" info on the recall moto-scoot. It looks like both of my 05's will qualify for the recall.

Great, even though mine is an '06, it is just a matter of time.
Now I need to design and build a Chastity Belt type lock for my OBDII Port so the Stealer does not Rape my ECM & TCM.
Should I post my OBDII RAPE GUARD drawings?
Any Fabricators interested in making the OBDII RAPE GUARD?
Those of us with tunes don't want any idiots screwing around with our tunes after replacing the control arms.

The model years impacted is for 2004 and 2005, affecting over 200,000 automobiles. The problem is with road salts used in specific states, which can cause the rear lower control arms, an essential part of the steering system, to corrode and break. According to Inside Line, Chrysler, is aware of 84 incidents involving the rear lower control arms breaking because of corrosion, but no car accidents or injuries were caused as a result of the defect. The company will start to notify their costumers round the end of April, when the recall is scheduled to begin. Well, owners will be directed to take their Liberty SUV to the nearest Chrysler or Jeep dealership, where the vehicle will be fitted with new control arms. For the mean time, they can contact Chrysler directly through their customer service hotline, if owners are still concerned and would like more information.

Tell them not to touch your modules, or they pay you for any expense to put things back to normal.
