Default Steering Lock Recall

I took my 99 Coupe with Auto trans in last week for the 04006 recall.
It seems to be allright except that now when I turn the ignition key off the odometer stays on for about 30 seconds or more. I called the dealer and they said as long as it goes off eventally and don't stay on that it's ok.
Has anybody else had that experence?

Haven't taken mine in yet. I just put in the CLB (electronic version), so I don't know if I even have to?? Anyone else, opinions??

Thanks for posting this. I am on the fence about having the recall done vs. buying the new harness from GM (i.e., the new GM-made CLB) and doing a "partial" recall job myself. I can't use the common aftermarket CLB without problems since I have a '98.

Besides the loss of a day's pay, I am very concerned about what damage the dealership might do and how the car might behave differently after I get it back. After poor & costly experiences with two area dealership service departments (who were outright clueless when it came to Corvettes) I prefer to deal with as much as possible by myself.
