The recess may have first and second axial ends, a substantially straight portion extending between the first and second axial ends, and at least one fillet formed at an intersection between the straight portion and at least one of the first and second axial ends. A roll-burnishing operation may be performed on the straight portion and the at least one fillet in a direction along the longitudinal axis.
