My 2010 Mazda CX9 (a car I love) was one of the cars in a Front Lower Control Arms Safety Recall.8515G.
I made an appt with the Dealer and hung about for a couple of hours. The part was not replaced because they do not have enough parts to replace them in all the recalled cars. Mine "passed inspection" so I get to go back to the dealer when they have one for me. They were also nice enough to give my car a complimentary once over and recommend a few hundred dollars worth of maintenance/ repairs.
Now, I had a couple of those fluids, filters and such done just weeks before and called the service man that did the work. He said that they already did them and I could stop back over. This mechanic uses a electronic diagnostic and guaranteed the work. He did it in front of me. The Dealer "service manager" said his service guys do visual inspections and he trusted his mechanics. Now ..I have a Dealer who recommends work I did not ask for. They also quote the work at 2-3x the price. This really sucks.
