What year is your car? So there used to be 54 cars affected.

I wonder how much they will charge me to diagnose the recall, lolol.

I wonder if they could have this taken a look at for the 2018 -2019 MY Stinger because this is the very issue I'm dealing with the dame fuel gauge is way off. Any word on if the software fix worked?
