Re: Software, mileage, and urea
It would probably require too much redesign of the whole car and fuel/exhaust system for that to be worthwhile.
I'd guess that the recall will just load a new software map which maintains the 'cheat' settings all the time, and if the owner complains about the performance impact they'll be pointed at the small print saying that things like top speed and 0-60 time are not guaranteed.
Meanwhile the aftermarket tuning shops will make a fortune reinstalling original maps.
