This is what the text says for the software that is loaded to help prevent IDM failures.
<Support for Tech 2 special function to detect Ignition Discharge Module failure. Improved control of ignition trig drivers to protect Ignition Discharge Module. Cold engine protection implemented. Improved CC tip in / out. Improved knock detection.>
Your 2003 might or might not have that latest software already from factory.
I have seen early 2003 that didn't have it but later ones that did.
It is really simple to check if you find a shop that have the capabilities to do that with their Tech 2 scanner and a computer program called TIS 2000 and a hardware dongle to hook up betwen the computer and Tech 2.
Without that it is not possible.
As it sounds now in the beginning of this recall drive, the cars with the TK 3.6 version and up IDMs are declared fine and let off the hook.
You can check the version of your IDM by removing it from the engine and read the label, but I have yet to see a 2003 that didn't have the TK 3.6 so I'm pretty sure your also have the TK 3.6
