Make sure you spell it out that any damage, miles above 3, or suspected abuse will result in monetary compensation.
(Have I ever said how much I hate dealerships, and how hard I will push to force them to do the right thing?)

Just make 100% sure you spell out things when you drop it off. I just had some recall work done on the Ram. I made it very clear they were NOT to flash the ECU for any reason what so ever (I have a custom tune on it to compensate for the tire size and make that worthless transmission shift like a regular transmission).

Calll with your vin and they will do it anyway, notice isn't necessary. I just got my air pump notice yesterday but they already did it when I did my airbag last month.

As far as anything else goes, the airbag procedure on all cars is to disconnect the battery, r+r airbag (usually removing part of or the whole dashboard), reconnect battery and that's it. No ecu reprogramming or anything. Other recalls there is a reprogram but you will be told in the recall notice iirc

For an 05 wrx the glovebox and surrounding trim needs to be removed. If the cage gets in the way of that there may be an issue.
