Recall - PCM

So, how is one supposed to tell if the stealer, ah, dealer installed the correct PCM? The old/original PCM was part #89661-01133 and the 9th thru 12th digit of the Lot #5169....both numbers indicating "replace PCM". The new/replacement PCM just installed by the dealer is part #89661-02K43, which is not on the list, BUT the Lot #1222 of the new PCM is obviously below #7226 or indicated as "not good". I can't tell any difference in the way our '05 runs after the PCM replacement.....did anyone else notice a difference in the way their Vibe ran after the PCM replacement?

The only difference when my son's PCM was replaced was the car actually started and ran again! His went out totally before the recall while driving in the neighborhood (luckily), when the car was only about 2 yrs old. And if the part # is not on the list, then I would assume the lot # does not matter as the PCM is a newer good replacement. Our new PCM is not on the list as they checked it again after the recall to make sure we did not get a bad replacement PCM.
