Fuel Pipe Recall

Many thanks to eyekutr and lxgs4 for the info. Besides the obvious cosmetic scratches, dings, etc. I was concerned if there is some loss of fuel when the lines are opened up, and if its replaced. Actually, I am more concerned about air leaks when the intake is removed. Do they reuse air intake gaskets or are they replaced as part of the recall kit? Also I'm concerned about contamination in the fuel lines, hoping that I won't be getting any check engine lights from the repair, given all the sensors in the air and fuel circuitry. I have very low miles on my car and I certainly don't want to deal with error codes induced by bad workmanship during this process, regardless of warranty coverage.

GS recall...
Had the fuel pipe recall work performed at my local dealer. So far, so good. No warnings, check engine lights, no damages, etc., everything is A-OK. What made it even more interesting was the almost brand new IS250 AWD loaner I received. Too bad they don't loan out the IS350. Probably not a fair comparison, and I certainly don't want to upset any IS owners out there, but driving the IS for one day just made me appreciate the GS even more as the quality car it is.
