That recall is to recalibrate the Oil Life Monitor. We had people going 12-15k between oil changes and the oil life monitor was still above 25%. Most of our regular customers ignore the oil life and just get it changed every 3-5k miles. IMO the recall was more to address the idiots that don't even check their oil but then get angry when something goes wrong. GM's "acceptable" oil consumption level is ~1.5qts every 3k miles. If someone goes 15k miles with the max "acceptable" oil consumption that would be 7.5 qts the 3.6l only takes 6qts.
If you can get it done I would do it before you go out of warranty. I've done a few and they are not that bad. From what I've heard they are trashing the 3.6 and redesigning it.
