An owner here of a Toyota GT86 which went to valve spring recall in Spain a month and half ago, more or less.
I was extremely worried at the beginning of the process, just by searching info on Inet - all you'll see are cases that went completely wrong, short blocks changed and so on. However, I have been lucky somehow - my Toyota dealer is part of a group which has also Subaru among them, and they stated Subaru was going to perform the recall, with a master tech responsible for the rework. They confirmed also the warranty after the recall as well (including a borrowed car if mine had mechanical issues). As the engine is from Subaru, that made me feel a little bit better - and I was told that more GT86 and BRZs went before on their hands (I think we don't have FRS in ES). All this info made my choice to go for it.
I would say here the name of the dealer, but I guess that for most of you it will be useless as I'm the foreigner here
