I got the notice and had mine done yesterday. The notice says it's a 45-minute procedure but it's not. It's about a 5-minute procedure. It involves installing a u-shared metal clip that spans the two fuel lines to hold them in place. One small screw in the middle holds it in place. A nice tech at my dealership did it in the parking lot so I wouldn't have to leave the car. After seeing the procedure I felt dumb for having anyone do it.
They didn't need any paperwork, either. So get the $3 clip and do it yourself.
BTW -- the tech says he hasn't seen a single 9-5 with this problem. The original plastic clips hold up fine. On the other hand, he said on 9-3s it is a problem, and you have to drop the gas tank to fix it!
