Does anyone know when this one was released for the 500C?

Campaign 5573: - soft top control unit.
On a batch of Abarth Convertible cars, whose chassis numbers range in the interval between 0523787 and 0690245, malfunctioning of the soft top might occur, with resulting incomplete closing / opening of the same soft top over time, due to a non-compliance of the soft top control unit.

Recall is dated July 2011.
Because it's not safety related it doesn't trigger a letter to the customer.

Excellent, just the information I needed.

They told me at Lipscomb that as the recall was so recent, they had no means of getting the part in before I came for the service on Jan 4th and hence me having to do the 2 hours return trip again for this recall.

I am having them now ...  ???
