I have a 16 month old iPhone 5 that is subject to recall for a defective Sleep/Wake Button.

The above notice says that if one has not experienced problems it is not necessary to have the button replaced.

And that is my case. My phone is problem free and in pristine/new condition. Ergo, I am undecided re the wisdom of having the work done for fear that the repair will cause more problems than it fixes, or that I will get a replacement phone at the expense of one I know to be in perfect shape.

So, great FTM sages, what say you? Is your counsel to not mess with success (take Apple’s advice), or quit pretending the problem will not develop and get the repair done?
