I am sorry but I doubt someone would pay money to advertise for a 23 year old recall that nets them zero money and a lot of potential headaches trying to file claims for that. I am not saying a shop shouldn't help a customer I am saying they wouldn't waste time and money to advertise for something that out of date.
Vegan, I don't live in Madison anymore but I do know the shop and the radio ad is completely credible. I think its more like "Folks we go to great lengths to ensure your safety. Today, we're still replacing cranks (the Shimano XYZ) from as far back as1994. We've got the parts. Bring your bike in today to ensure it's safe, comfortable, and efficient!" Something like that.
