With getting the recall done you can affect your odds. If you just drop it off and let them run with it they may put new guy on it. in that case you would be better off not having it done. I would be a Helicopter owner and ask who is doing the work, how many has he done, ask to talk with the technician doing the work, try to get a personal connection with the technician so he knows who's car he is working on, ECT, ECT...... You would be amazed what a couple of dozen doughnuts will do for a group of mechanics. Anyway Hope this helps. I would get the recall done but would have to have confidence in the technician doing the work first.

Nope. Doesn't work like that. When I researched things I thought I found the right place. Sat the service manager down, had the conversation. In the end it didn't end well. These tech's are in a time constraint and taking extra care with the sealant is not in that timeframe. There is a sequence that must be followed and it is time consuming and not part of their program. If you don't track your car there's a good chance that you'll never have an issue however pushing the car a bit and the issue WILL show up.
