Is the recall only for certain years and/or certain regions?

The wheel speed sensors are part of the ABS system, the speedo gets it's signal from the transmission. Some of the symptoms of the recall related problem are ABS malfunction lamp illuminated, codes, and pre-mature ABS activation. I had the recall done on my truck, they replaced one front speed sensor and cleaned the other.

I've had the recall sent to me three times now. I'm just afraid to take my truck in and have any dumbasses working on it or taking it for joy rides afterwards. Not to mention the chance that someone decides to reflash the computer for some retarded *** reason.
What to do?????

I haven't got the letter yet either. If you have hp tuners or some other way of tuning just set your rev limiter at like 2,000. lol i have a friend that does this to his lightening before he takes it in.
