Default Buick coolant recall

I have a question about coolant recall for my 2000 Buick
regal (LS, nonturbo). I have been changing dexcool every
year and it has 65000 miles. GM is sending me recall
notice every 3 months to care recall. The recall will
expire in July 2005.

My question is since I have been changing coolant
regularly and no overheating problem, do you think
I should still take the care to delaer or just ignore
the recall. And if you can explain what's in the recall
besides tightening the bolts.

If you are planning on reselling it eventually, a prospective buyer
is going to run your VIN with the dealership and find the recall
wasn't done, they may take a pass on the car.

What is the recall for? This caught my eye because I have a 2000 Malibu -
would it be included?

spend the time and do the recall so you have your stuff together if
there is ever a warrenty claim.
