Went in for an oil change this past Friday (one of the 'in-between' oil changes I like to do, so this one was not covered by the maintenance plan) and they informed me that they were also going to replace a brake line due to a recall. I hadn't received a letter yet but just wanted to share with the community because I know there's been a lot of talk about the letters and when things are being done... etc.

Yeah, I went in for an oil change and ca did the check for me and he said he needs to order a brake master cylinder and booster for me under the recall. I'm taking it in on Friday.

I thought the recall only covered the leaky hose. Why are you also getting a new master cylinder & booster?
