Let's make a pact. Neither one of us will have the recall work done and if our car fails, we'll immediately let the other one know what happened.

Like you, I'm hesitant. So far my FR-S has been rock solid. I've never done anything to it besides oil changes.

I'm spooked by a co-worker's experience with his WRX. He had an engine replaced (dealership forgot to put oil back in after an oil change, d'oh!) and it never was right again. He had all sorts of problems, mostly electrical, over the next year and eventually traded it off.
