That's an old recall. Most trucks were re-flashed before they ever left the dealer lot.
I never read anyone complaining about the new flash, but I would bet most owners didn't have the ability to make a before and after comparison due to the truck being re-flashed before delivery
 
Well believe it or not my truck was made after that recall and they still said they needed to fix it on mine. Have to look at the build date and make sure of this.
 
If you run an oaisis report I think it will tell you if there are any recalls on the truck
 
Actually I did from the dealership and they asked me to bring it in. Needed some other issues taken care of as well so it was ok with me...
