Here's the kicker: if they do this and it turns out the fault wasn't recall related, I will be on the hook for 8h of labor ($1072) CAD.
Thoughts on next steps?

Ask them to drop the oil pan and oil pick up screen ONLY so you pay maybe 1 hr labor if the pick up screen is clean. But if the screen is plugged with sealant you know its dealer's fault. AND GO SEE IT YOURSELF, take pictures of the oil pickup screen and whatever else they did on top of the engine.
