You might check again. My battery wasn't in the previous recall either, but this morning I was glad to see it is included in the new recall. I have noticed that my battery can get overheated and cause the PC to hang. The only way to shutdown is to pull out the battery. So I'm kind of glad that this recall is announced; besides, this battery is only lasting 50% of its new capacity now. Twenty business days is a long time to wait, though, for a notebook user.
Here's the link to the new recall:
