If a plug broke, I can almost guarantee it was improperly installed. Or it was damaged before it was installed.
There is NO WAY revving the hell out of the car can do this.

i checked my vin #
it's JHMAP1 ... 2T8000**
so i suppose i'm fine then? cuz the recall stated 2T000001 - 6983
but im nearing 49,000 km's (30,000 miles basically), when do spark plugs typically need changing?

The recall did not involve all '02s, just VINs ...0001 to ...6983.

60,000 should be where iridium should be changed under hard driving.
i'm screwed. I'm like 5800 or something and I don't know if the previous owner has changed the plugs or not.
