I see now there is no black or white answer on this, so I am just gonna have to give it a shot

i find it comical to hear people come to the dealer with a SIB in their hand, and they are out of warranty, and demand the repair be performed for free. a SIB is not a recall, SIBs are released to assist technicians in diagnosis. Recalls are not used for diagnosis.
The recall outlines what a potential failure could be, and how to prevent the failure by installing or repairing the component, if the failure has already occured, the component is replaced with an updated part, or repair kit is added to the part.
The SIBs outline what has failed. by symptom, or fault codes, or installation of incorrect accessories, and if the repair is covered under the factory, cpo or esc warranties. Or if the situation is Customer Pay. SIBs also contain information regarding production changes, percieved operation of functions, training, videos, brochures, service requirements, and special tool releases.
