Default Still haven't done the valve spring recall, risks?

I purchased the GS460 2 months ago and have put about 2000 miles on it so far with no problems. Smooth as butter.

My question is, what are the risks of not having done the valve spring recall yet? Does driving style affect this part, i.e. will aggressive driving make it more likely for it to fail? I just haven't had the time to take it in, but will make time if it's something urgent.

Thanks.

the valve spring affect rate is 2%, so you can do the math
