My suggestion to anyone on the fence about this recall. "DON'T DO IT" unless you have a spare $7-10G sitting around you want to get rid of at some point in the future.
I guess they consider some sealant left over from a repair is "of no concern". That's a frightening comment coming from someone in the automotive repair business. What if my heart surgeon said we left a small amount of gauze inside you...but its of no concern.
Would this be considered an acceptable amount of sealant in the pickup?
