Along with other reasons, If a manufacturer makes changes to an expensive product like this, it is clear that by making the change, and not recouping, there design investment, that the product did not work well. GM got burned at this not to long ago. They had a braking system on a vehicle for one year only. A laywer sued and won, big time. Now GM, knowing they have screw up on designs, keeps putting stuff out to prevent this, for at least a few years. Eric 86-VW4x4 vw4x4@fyi.net 72-240z Pittsburgh, PA USA 1936-Chrysler
