Went in for an oil change and the service agent informed me about this recall. He said they would need to order the parts then schedule another visit. A web search using my VIN showed nothing so I asked another agent and he provided a print out as follows:

Campaign # 33110 dated: 9/16/2016 status: open

Desc: When a commanded shift occurs outside of the expected transmission turbine speed window limits, the commanded shift monitor requests a driver defaulted 8th gear state. The torque associated with the default action results in broken turbine shaft. The calibration window (based on output speed) for the safety monitor (P16F3) is smaller than the calibration window for the driver initiated tap downshift speed limit checks.

Repair: Reprogram the transmission control module.

So, it sounds like there is a lot of dealer confusion. The reprogram should have been done today and should be all that is needed for vehicles that have not had a failure. Replacement parts and transmission removal should only be needed if the driver is having problems and the shaft has failed.

Guess I will have to call the dealer back to confirm this.
