Not sure if this recall is really worth the hassle of packing up and moving from this beautiful state because from what I've been told, the K01 reflash streamlines the emissions testing process by improving comminication between the ECM and some of the latest emissions testing equipment that is now on the market. Apparently many 2003-2007 vehicles from all brands have similar compatibility issues with Land Rover as being one of the worst offenders. A savvy technican can work around the issues but obviously work-arounds are not encouraged by the California BAR.
Funny thing is, when I had my truck smogged last fall the tech was never even prompted to hook the truck up to the smog check computer. The test was purely visual and timed.
