You might be making too much out of this.  It's not a safety recall, it's a fix for a potential problem where the suspension will bump the frame (aluminum tub) if you hit a bump too hard and bottom out.  The fix is drilling two holes and attaching a small bracket, with a rubber bumper, on each side.  My dealer acted clueless but checked on it and said he didn't have the part, and would have to order it from the factory.  I didn't get as far as asking if he would order the part before I bring it in, but there is nothing to remove or replace, it is an addition.  I don't plan on taking it in until later, and when he can assure he has the part.  I live too far away and have to wait while he does the work.  Supposed to only take 1-2 hours according to letter.

Yo comprendo. That wasn’t my point and that’s why I weasel worded it. Truly, not a formal NHTSA recall. Dunno, maybe they’re trying to stay ahead of one. My point was that the dealers and dealers in concert with the mfr can be a pain. I think your post pounded that nail in a tad further. Roger, rubber snubber on the frame. The engineers think it necessary enough to come out with a “recall”, I’m game enough to comply. Not looking for a cracked aluminum bath tub. And no, no part exchange - this time. Dealer didn’t know that but still demanded a look. I’d do it my self but I doubt they’d buy off on it. They didn’t with my broken stereo amp. Kicker dealer in town offered up a formal invoice used with other mfrs along with a certified destruction of the old. No dice. With regard to the snubbers, much like the humble circle with no beginning or end, we come back around again now to the dealer. Maybe they’ll get up to speed in a couple weeks.
