I’m HEPR 180. And it’s very clear my right bank is activated as well. Different builder, Robert O’Maskoff.! We were probably both built the same day! . No recalls listed for me as well.

Well, mine for sure looks likes it's not activated but no recall or FSA listed on owner tools.....WTF.

Can you post a picture? Just for curiosity.. please

Idk... what I found through watching the build process of these cars was that HEPR 178 had some HEPR 200+ that were built and delivered prior to its build, so it’s definitely possible that we may have been built the same day but also possible we were weeks apart.

So if you both compare your engine build tags you can see if the engines were built on the same day, week, etc.

Just checked my VIN, says I'm good. BTW, I saw a video posted earlier about this and it was for builds made in December '20 (12/2 - 12/16?). Any truth to this?

I don’t think so... anyone here with that issue could post pictures and build date?
