CA emissions ECU flash recall?

got the oil changed for the 1st time on my 6000 mile FRS that I bought last June. Service adviser said there is a recall for "CA emissions reflash of ECU"

I decided to wait to do it until I found out more from the forums about it, mostly since my car runs excellent and gets incredible mileage.

So what does it really mean?

It seems to be there to fix the idle fluctuation, there may be a connection with smog emissions but in terms of driveability and performance there's no drawbacks, I don't think anyone here has bothered to delve into the effects on emissions. All of the ones coming out of the factory will have this flash on them as well.
