Walter,

If I were you, I would definitely take in your car so they can at least check the nut and make sure that it is torqued down to the proper specifications. My understanding is that it only takes a few minutes to do. I saw that same recall notice on several websites and I believe that it pertains to 1998 ES300's as well. Make an appointment to have it checked/fixed. Since it is a recall, it will be at no charge to you.
