Yep. Which is why I said that the recall would not likely have happened at all if it was just an engine failure. Doesn't matter what you or I think the odds of an accident resulting from it are they felt it was a risk they didn't want to take.
Recalls are not about saving owners expensive repairs they are strictly for correcting safety issues. So why on earth would they just offer an extended warranty? If it wasn't considered a safety issue they would have just let it slide and if it went when out of warranty you would be on your own. Just like the TOB issue.
