NEW flash?? again??

Well I just got back from my dealership. Went in with a check engine light on. Came out with a reflash?? The check engine light is off for now, but I had no idea there was a reflash out? I was on the latest one from the previous recall. Anyone have any ideas?

on my receipt it says: performed tsb 01-007-05
reprogrammed pcm XX815XRX .4

That TSB was issued 2/2005

You are correct,if your PCM was reflashed with recall it would have included what they claim to have done now!

Yes there are pictures,see the reference in post#2 above.
However what is more scary is that your dealership did not perform Recall #4206F which would include ALL previous flashes.I suggest you ask your dealer if that recall has been performed on your car.If it was performed then then the tsb 01-007-05 would have been done at that time and the invoice they gave you is nonsense.
