I was a little worried about taking my car in for the recall. I found a large dealership that did a lot of service work. I asker the service manager and he said they had done about 20 recalls since the campaign started and none had come back for any issues. He said there were two master techs and they were the only ones performing the work.

So far I've gotten my car back and no issues. Haven't tracked it yet, so that should be the final test.

My advice is once you get the car back, drive it hard and keep it stock for the first few thousand miles. The quicker you can figure out if there are any issues, the harder it'll be for the dealer to deny fault.

There's some risk involved, but in hindsight, I definitely would not pay out of pocket for a mechanic to perform the repair. I'd rather find an experienced dealership and trust that they've done it enough times to not screw it up.
