Everything gets exaggerated when it comes to online complaints. The suggestion that most engines are a write off after a recall repair is absurd to say the least. There were most likely some failures, and not all dealer service techs are perfect. I've heard stories of wheels falling off cars from the dealer but that wouldn't deter me from getting service at a dealer.

If it happened to you you'd have a different perspective.
Factory authorized warranty repair means pretty much nothing
It breaks then they try to blame it on something else or they try to fix it again and possibly still F it up. They don't allow enough time for these tech's to do it right. Anyone that buys a post recall 13 knowing of the issue is taking a big chance. Easier to buy a post 13 or a 13 that wasn't on the recall list and not worry about it
