Yep, I figure that the chances of my car's engine going "bang" because of a failed OEM valve spring are less that it going bad because of a screwed up repair job.

Note: In Washington, the recall doesn't have to be done to re-register the car.

Also, the worst case, if I don't have the recall work done, is that the valve spring(s) give out and the engine stops running. I've had engines die before and I've always managed to muscle them off to the side of the road.

Besides, since the recall doesn't have a expiration date, if the car locks up on me, I'll have it towed to the closest dealer and have them fix it -

Then I will rent a Mustang and continue my journey -
