I've been ignoring their calls since then.
The recall is specifically to replace the bad parts. Repair of engine damage associated with the part's failure would be a warranty issue, not recall work. They could make my life miserable by denying warranty coverage of the rest of the repair work needed from a valve spring failure if they can show I elected not to have the bad part replaced prior to failure.. Manufacturers can and are ****s like that, on a regular basis..

They seem to be good at making everyones life hell after they broke the motor... What makes you think that plan is much better
