Default Recall

I thought I had escaped the airbag recall because my truck was made in KC but I guess I was mistaken. I just received the letter saying that my truck was on the list. I live about 50 miles from the nearest dealer. Has anyone had this recall done and if so how long did it take the service guys to do it? I would like to have it done while I am there.
P.S. The last time I waited at the dealer for a recall service (it was on my Explorer) to be done I bought this truck, lol.

Thanks for the input. Of course I will make an appointment, driving 50 miles I sure don't want to be told they are backed up and would like to get it done asap. I also try to do things in the off-peak hours/days as mrn suggests.

Rearend serviced and driveshaft seal or whatever its called replaced.

Im going on a ~720 mile road trip this weekend so I need no worries. lol
