Agreed on all counts. The fix was in late 2006 models - 07s and 08s were built without the offending parts.
Fixing this is easy if done before it locks up completely.
Once it locks up completely, drilling is needed - I am happy to help with pre-emptive repairs, but once it locks up, please ask Greg or Dave or Bob or George for help....
