I didn't do anything. It just came in the mail. I believe they are sending them out to registered owners of qualifying vehicles.

I got one too. Thing is the 98-00 GS doesn't have electronic throttle, so I don't see how it should have affected it. But sure, I'll take the half tank of gas....

What exactly is the issue and which years were this for? and how the hell did they come up with some measly amount like $29 as if that rectifies anything, LOL

$1.2 billion dollar settlement. Then after the attorneys get paid and the government gets paid the rest of us get... $29. Now I can floor it on the highway with complete peace of mind...

It matters when you bought it. Google the requirements.

Strange. My check was only for $8.97. Lol

Don't know why mine wasn't $29.
