I really mucked up my response to you.  I wanted to say that hybrids provide an extra 
25,000 miles to the warranty expiration.  If this was a normal gas engine, the warranty 
would have expired at 75,000 miles.

You may have guessed that, but I just wanted to clear it up a bit.  Yes, it IS good news.  
Hopefully, they do a good job repairing or replacing it.  Not sure yet what they will do.
