The NHTSA basically needs the dealers to prove to them that they fixed the affected cars. If, for some reason, say you sold your car to a third party, not the dealer, and the guy that bought the car from you gets in an accident, they could very well point the finger at you for never bringing the vehicle in to the dealer. Just a heads up...

I don't think there is one litigation case involving the accident being the fault of the last owner who didn't do a recall campaign, that lies on the fault of the dealer.
The less time at the dealer the better, auto owners will have to take it in anyway it means it'll take that much less time for some tech looking under the dash
