Where have you been?? I had this recall done in April!

I would be careful though ... hyperlite had it done down in Houston and they have to remove the exhaust to replace the filler hose. They didn't replace the gasket after putting the exhaust back together and he ended up with an annoying loud exhaust system.

For me no exhaust problems but ever since this getting this recall done my fuel gauge does not go all the way to Full ('F') when I fill the tank and then the low fuel light goes on when I have like 5 gallons left. I've had it back twice to get it fixed and each time they changed some flap but it didn't help *annoyed*

I would have them check your fuel sending unit. Mine starting doing this a good while back and the whole unit was failing. The flap is the "known" TSB for that problem but a lot of G's have had fuel pump/sending unit failures.

My car is at Grubbs getting this issue fixed. Make sure if you do bring in your car that you include your wheel lock key. They do need to remove your rear wheel.
