Default 2012 103 Pinging Problems

Has any one heard of a warranty fix for the 103 pinging problem? I was told by a friend that the fix was a cam upgrade. Warranty fix that is. Not mods.
Cheers

A tune will fix the ping.
I had a friend get a new 110" under warranty @ 40K miles due to carbon buildup. He doesn't beat it, but, doesn't ride it gingerly either. The carbon built up so bad it bent many critical components and required a complete rebuild.
