I meant to ask about that...I have an 05 too but my VIN is lower than the one where they say they fixed the problem in the 04's. So, just to assuage my paranoia about car trouble, is it safe for me to assume that if the problem existed in the 05's, the TSB would cover them, too, specifically and not rely on just the VIN?

I guess what my question *really* is, is do the VIN numbers restart at 0 for each model year, or are they cumulative for the model?

Any answers to assuage my paranoia will be appreciated. I haven't yet worked up the courage to approach this car with tools so I need to know if this is something I need to ask about on my next dealer visit.
