I have not had any reason to go into the dealer, I do my own maintenance. When I bought it they had it up to date with all the necessary recalls at that time and there have not been any critical recalls since other than the reflashes. So my attitude at this point is "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".

The problem with that sentiment is that if something DOES break, that they will not pay for the repairs of things that break as a result of you ignoring the recall notice. They send out those notices to cover their butts; you may get lucky and not ever have a problem, but when and if you do, you're going to wish you took it in.
I just had the reflash done today. I hate going to the stealership down the street from me, so I drove about 1 hour or so out to Fontana (California) to have my man Matt oversee the work on my truck. Averaged 14 MPG on the way out. Driving back, I averaged 18.5 MPG.
