You might be able to talk to a dealer. If it turns out to be a recall, you won't
have to pay for it.

When I bought the truck used, it was already out of warranty. I bought just
the engine warranty when I got it. I was one of those guy's that said " hey,
it's a newer vehicle, it's not going to break, and if it does, I can fix
most stuff". Oh well, I guess I've learned my lesson.
