The dealerships asking for an inspection aren't reading the recall notice since it clearly states the the part on every vehicle within a certain production date/VIN range must be replaced.
Rather than reading the recall notice, they are likely treating it like some recalls which are written a little more broadly such that a vehicle must be inspected to see if a certain condition exists and only after finding a problem can they order parts and perform work. In this instance, an inspection makes no sense and wastes everyone's time.
The SA who set up my appointment read the notice while I was on the phone with them, so they worked the parts order and the scheduling of the appointment all at the same time.
My advice would be for everyone to push back or call a different dealer if told to come in for an inspection.
