Warranty pays .3 hours for the recall (5 minutes for doing the job, 13 minutes for the SM to fill out the paperwork). I suspect SEM is supplying the parts at a discount (maybe even free?). I know of no data showing what the new hardware does with the old software. Saab refuses to divulge whether they have acquired such data (for example, by providing warranty replacement of DIs in Europe *without* loading new software).
Loading the software takes a good half hour, not counting the time to hook up the car and do paperwork. Maybe warranty is an additional 45 minutes for a software update, and the Government approved the recall with hardware update only. People getting a recall DIC would be well advised to pay for their software to be updated as well.
