I'm going to have this problem; I've had my forged engine with upgraded heads/valvetrain sitting around for a while and finally decided to drop it back into my frs, and of course the recall was announced shortly after. It seems silly to be forced to bring my car to the dealer to have them replace GSC beehive springs with OEM ones, just to pull the engine all over again to replace them with the GSC beehive springs once i get the car back.
In another thread a member stated that Toyota said he didn't need to perform the recall because he replaced his '13 longblock which originally was part of the recall, with a newer engine. I'm hoping im in the same boat since the only things in my engine that are really oem 2013 are the case-halves and bare heads/cams. I've been waiting to see if anyone else has dealt with a similar situation, but looks like i'll have to give my local dealer a call after the weekend.
