Default Safety Recall Notice - IMA Cable Electrical Short

Today I received a Safety Recall notice from Honda concerning the issue "Integrated Motor Assist Cable Can Develop Electrical Short." Briefly, this recall notes, "Certain parts of your vehicle's IMA system are located under a metal cover behind the rear seat-back. Over time, the weight of rear seat passengers may cause the metal cover to come into contact with a rubber cap." So the dealer, "Will install a protective cover ..."

Luckily for me I rarely use the rear seat for passengers but rather for boxes of parts which rarely weigh over 60# total across the entire back seat so I don't think I'm in danger though will keep this in mind. Has anyone else received this recall yet or has anyone had the recall performed?
