Default 2020 Valve Spring Issue
Was there an issue with the 2020‘s with defective valve springs that I should worry about now? Is anybody aware of failed springs after these few years?

thanks,

My understanding the recall only affects 2020’s manufactured with certain dates, possibly yours is pre or post those dates. If you do a search on this Tech. and/or the General topics I believe you’ll find the Tech Service Bulletin within a post.

Not all, just affected vehicles produced with a certain batch of valve springs.

I replaced mine so I didn't have to worry about it while I was on track.
