I brought my 09 RKC into my dealer. They looked up the VIN number and said that there were no changes that needed to be done to it. I even gave him the bulleton number but he said all that matters is my VIN. Going in for the 5,000 next week, so I will mention it again.

Try a different dealer. The first guy I talked to at my dealer gave me the same story. Then a tech walked up that knew what was going on and I got the update. It is an improvement IMO and worth getting.

This is not a recall, it's a service bulletin and, so far, doesn't seem to show up on a routine VIN search but that doesn't mean it's not still a valid procedure.

Good luck,
Steve R.
