Mechanic said: 'there's a mandatory AD on the fuel servo' (this
happened just last week)
Owner said with a scowl: 'how much is that going to cost?'
Notice that the owner did not ask and did not care what the AD was,
all he focused on was cost...

If it was MANDATORY, the only primary,relevant option would be "when to have
it performed", and that would likely be dictated by "how much it cost".

As for "what the AD was", I suspect many non-mechanic owners wouldn't have
much clue about what it represented. Recall, if you can, Bill Cosby's humor
about what his auto mechanic told him (in "200 MPH")
