Nope. They'll all get redone...all of them, even if "recall #1 (23S30)" was done.

Wanna know why?

Because when I pulled the inner panel off my tailgate this morning to have a look...guess what....the tech who did my lightbar replacement (23S30) didn't follow the original instructions (attached) and throw away the screws and grommets and insert the pushpins that were called for. Instead, the tech who did mine did what I bet a lot of them did...just put the screws back into the grommets to hold the lightbar on. And then some of the lightbars cracked....again.
These are pics from my tailgate showing two of the grommets that are visible (others are hidden by internal step supports etc.):

And that's why they want a pic uploaded to confirm the tech actually read and followed the instructions....this time.

Those tailgate panel screws come off with a T30 Torx bit BTW.... takes like 30 seconds to take them off.
