It's more of a "Hey there's a problem we noticed and you need to fix it" than a recall. It's a supplemental to the owners manual and recommends scheduled checks and maintenance on the drains.

If there is damage, you pay for it then submit your claim to the class action lawsuit being filed and basically stand in line to wait...

try getting a used one locally and if you cant check out ebay and other sites if you are going to get it shipped make sure you insure it because they are flimsy little things and you wouldnt want to arrive all screwed up and have no way to return or make your money back. and on the drain note you have to clean them and should do it before you put the new headliner in. also the water pooling in the door sills is fine you should be worried if it doesnt

Yes, this is correct. Just a change to the maintenance schedule to clean the front drains. No recall.

You will need service manual to remove and replace the headliner. Lots of little clips and such. The wiring harness is wrapped in a tar like tape. So unclipping it from the headliner without getting tar on the good side is very difficult. I must have washed my hands 10 times to keep the tar from transferring. Also, it is a bitch to get it in and out of a rear door without kinking it.
