Did anyone else get this recall yet?

A bracket that secures the left side of the fuel tank may have been improperly formed durring the metal stamping process. if improperly formed, the fuel tank may become disloged and drop down in server collision, Should this ocur, there is a potential for fuel to spill from the tank. Fuel in the presence of an igntion sourse could result in a fire.
That what its says and tell you to get with your dealer to get it inspected.so guess i will have to work something out to get this car checked out.

I did. You should take it in and get it checked out. Its free and if you do have a problem it gets fixed. If it is ok then you at least know that there isn't anything wrong with the car. They say severe but how severe is severe? If your car has the problem it doesn't matter how severe the accident could be it is the way of the impact that would have more to do with it. if it does break and then spills fuel your looking at a possible fire/explosion. If that happens you will almost definitely lose your whole car if not your life or a passengers life instead of maybe an hour or so for them to fix it. As soon as I get my car put back together I am taking mine in.

My car has serial #4220 (In other words for an 06 it was #4220 off the assembly line) and it was fine so just take the 30 mins if you haven't already and have it checked out.
