Strange issue just popped up with my 2020 ST. When driving the other day I got a very strong manure smell that lasted over an hour. I live in Los Angeles, so no nearby source or agriculture use. Put the A/C system on recirculate and the smell went away. Back to outside circulation and it came back. Stopped the car and got outside to see if it was environmental, but no odor detected outside the car. Now a few days later and it is still an issue though not as strong. The car was recently in the body shop to replace both passenger doors, but it seems unlikely that would have anything to do with it, and as said before the smell goes away on recirculate mode. I thought maybe an overcooked battery, but I wouldn't expect it to smell like manure and the car has no electrical issues. Any ideas?
