If it starts, idles, accelerates, shifts and stops well then you have nothing to worry about....

Ask about the chain tensioner...It wasn't a recall, but it needs to be replaced if it hasn't been. It's a $20 part. No big deal if it isn't done yet, but it's something you shouldn't put off doing.

Didn't the 2000's already have the updated tensioner?

I have about 40k miles on mine, a daily driver and weekly warrior. I have had no problems that I didn't create myself.
