Yeah, this recall doesn't do a thing about the transmission fluid boil-overs. I think they're content they "fixed" that by putting in the idiot light.

Exactly

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is watching out for business and not the consumer or the people and children on our highways.

I'm gonna call my dealership next week and see what they know about the recall. I've still got to go in for the soft top recall & fix as well.
