more questions on recall 51101-c

I have not seen exactly what the brake recal (51101-c) does other than replace calipers & replace 1 qt of brake fluid. Do they lube pins or any other work?

I had the recall completed a couple of weeks ago at Reeder Chevrolet in Knoxville, Tn. They performed the caliper fix, checked the pads and rotors and also checked the slide pins. Everything was OK. if the slides needed lube, the service manager would have called for me to authorize the lube job. They didn't need it, but it would have been a whole lot cheaper to do with the wheels already off for the caliper work.
