Hello,
Shortly after the 04 models were released I believe there was a recall but it may have been a campaign on the crankcase vent system. All cars received the clamp that holds the hose at the throttle body. This is the hose with the check valve that fails in it. They had no clamp and could blow off the throttle body. Also on some cars we had to change the oil traps. I can't remember why but some were ok to change and some were rather difficult. I think it depended on the transmission and the physical size of the oil trap. Since then I have had some were the o-ring fails were it goes in the block and some were small cracks form in the plastic and they leak. Unfortunately I have not done one for a while so I can't really remember what exactly needs moved and how long it takes. But that time does seem about right if its the hard one todo. Good Luck, Bernie
