Hood latch recall

I know this is covered 100 times but I Just got a letter in the mail from MMNA telling me to go get the hood latch replaced for free, anyone else get this letter?

Think i should run and hurry and get it replaced or just wait and see what happens lol?

It's not a recall it's just a TSB.

i'm afraid to take it to any dealer...horror stories of grease monkeys having fun with your car always drive me away. i guess i just need a dealership i can really trust.

I've always thought the hood latch seemed pretty tight, but now that I have a couple mods I'm afraid to take it back to be fixed. I got grilled and a 10 minute photo-session of every tiny little part of the car inside and out when I went in for the seat-staple problem (and it was completely stock at the time).

if its a TSB why would they send out a letter via mail saying come to the dealership and get this fixed....
