Carb or EFI? 06 had injector issue recall. Does yours have the original 8 degree injectors or were they swapped out to the 25 degree?

I believe it was a campaign and not a safety recall (which it should have been) which means it would only have been free while under warranty as opposed to free at anytime for a safety recall. I'm betting they will charge you for swapping out the injectors to the 25 degree.
