Good move! 
I've had mine installed for over a year, and no problems, and no worrys. If only people would just take our word for it rather than having to go through the headache of having their column lock up on them!!!

um, when you guys (& girls) say easy------------do you mean easy for an average diy? i do not pretend to be a mechanic but fully realize that much of it ain't rocket surgery. now on the other hand i fully subscribe to the dirty harry school of thought that "a man's got to know his limitations." just curious. bub

...In fact while I was installed the CLB...I replaced the plastic bezel or shroud surrounding the ignition switch...
and I replaced the passenger side carpet vent...
Investigated problem with turn signals and found the sequential turn signal the problem...
...and Now...I feel better too
thanks

Hey Drill 629
Absolutely do not take it in for the recall after you install the CLB. All they will do is reprogram your computer so it will shut down your fuel supply if the gremlins ever take over. I, too, have an '02 and I installed the CLB myself and later when I had to take mine in for warranty repair of the leaking rear axle they asked me about doing the CL recall and I simply refused it. They asked me to sign the warranty invoice showing that I had refused the recall. It was simple to refuse!
