Will say again. Stickers to verify forks are only attached by Specialized where inspection is performed. This is the crux to the recall. Specialized reduces their liability by controlling the inspection process. This removes the variation of how well an inspection would be performed by a bike shop. Not all bikes shops are capable and Specialized knows that. Further, most bikes shops don't have X-ray machines...lol. The step to send forks back to Specialized has a cost. This is calculated. This cost is << than if a bike shop were to perform a poor inspection, falsely verified a defective fork and a field failure were to occur. Big law suits can destroy companies. A chess game.
