I had mine done on Thursday. It didn't take them long at all. Mine only had to have one of the recall items done. They removed the foam from the B pillars. No pain and no fuss. No problems and no smells for mine.

Mine took about 45 minutes for them to do, didnt see any other yarises there getting it done. But if this did increase the road noise I havent heard any difference. Also no smell. Maybe just lucky, I had to go in again a week later to get the water pump replaced due to leaking. Which my coolant was at min when i took it in. That took 2 hours, and they put my underbody panels on wrong.

Mine took 10 minutes. Heck, I was halfway drinking my coffee when they paged me.
