Question- I plan on having them do the spark plugs since they are in the engine already and I will save on labor. How many of you who’ve done the recall also had them do the water pump and serpentine belt?
I would imagine the success rate for the recall is better now?
Thanks

When my recall was done, I had them do the spark plugs and revised throw out bearing and asked the technician to notify me of anything that looked like it needed attention... when they had the engine out they called back and basically asked how long I intended to keep the car and said the clutch was okay, but if I was in for the long haul there would never be a better time. In my case the water pump and serpentine belts were not recommended. They even let me go back and inspect the clutch for myself... and the assessment was accurate.
A long winded way of saying that if you have a decent dealership service department you can ask for their opinion for free, and then make your decision. Dealership service departments and technicians vary greatly... so YMMV.
