Unsatisfactory resolution to NHTSA recall no.: 16V-913 https://static.NHTSA.gov/ODI/rcl/2016/rclrpt-16V913-3524.pdf the proposed resolution to this recall is unsatisfactory. How can is it assured that if a module passes the load test the pcu ground connection will not fail at a future time? the failure reportedly occurs just when the ABS/esp/steering system is needed most to maintain vehicle control. If this was a known manufacturing defect and the ABS control module was replaced by an updated module with proper soldering then all vehicles produced with this manufacturing defect should receive an updated module.
