IN EXTREME CASES, THE RETENTION CLIP MAY MELT ONTO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, INCREASING THE RISK OF BRAKE LINE DAMAGE.

Thumper brought this up in August.

It's a pretty easy to look at the passenger peg/board mount on the primary side to see if yours is affected.

I've had the cats removed from my XC, but the mount has held up and I don't have any worries.

It was just a TSB when Rick first brought it up.
this sounds like a full fledged recall for all years.

We are forcenet that we still have a dealer or two that can do it. Am guessing there are a lot of guys that will have to travel 100 miles or more to get this recall fix
