Hi mj202,
The recommendation is correct but if the vehicle is being used often and not under extreme conditions, the belt might be able to last for a while more. If you wish to do so, at least get the belt condition inspected.
Parts should cost between $200 and $400 depending on other factors such as valve cover gaskets, balancer belts etc. Labor time is 3.6 hours and an additional.5 hour if the seals are replaced.
