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,

Where did you see a recall. I have a 2020 with 20k miles no recall notices

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.
