Default 2004 steering column lock

I just bought my first C5 - a one owner 2004 CE vert with a manual transmission. I checked with my local dealer and the steering column lock recall was never done by the previous owner. Car has about 29k miles on it. Is this something I should get done by the dealer while I still can under the recall? Or, after reading a lot of posts, should I just leave it alone and bypass it myself if I ever get the issue?

Thoughts and advice would be appreciated.

Install Column Lock Bypass (CLB) or lmc5

Google those for C5 and you'll be all set. Which one you choose is personal prefs.
