If you have an 85 Kalifornistani 300D or 300SD and have had the recall work done it will no longer show up on the computers at the dealers as being an outstanding recall.

The recall replaces the trap oxidizer with an oxidation catalyst of the same shape.

Watch out, some practicle jokers may sneek under your hood at night and stick BBs in the vacuum line that operates the air recirculation valve on the turbo. This prank may cause you some confusion as to why you seem to have more power and get better mileage. Its not a very funny joke though as it increases your NOx emissions slightly. Another potential negative side effect of this prank is if you do mainly short trips and don't get many sustained highway miles, your oxidation cat will start to plug up. A good hard drive up and down some steep hills for a couple of hours will clean it out though.
