Brake recall worked for me!

Twelve days ago I took my 08 Sky Redline to get the ECM flash (re-program) for the cold brake problem. That afternoon I left for 12 days of vacation without the Sky. Upon return, I started the car and immediatly (no warm up) backed it out of the garage. Brakes worked perfect. No more cold start issue for me. Prior to this, I had a NO BRAKES at cold start up. When they did the reprogram, a factory rep said this will work on 90% of the 08 Redlines and if it didn't work for me, that they had a back up fix that they could do. I believe that is the brake "retro-fit" that others have talked about on this forum. My 08 was built in June of 07 and delivered to me in July of 07. I include this because some said that maybe the build date would have an influence on whether the reprograming would work or not. Good luck with yours.
