A Previous Folding Bike 'Handlepost' Recall

I was checking-out the Tern Link P9 on Thor's website - my new next door neighbor at the beach has one (and really likes it) - while on the website I noticed something about a Dahon 'Handlepost' recall 3-4 yrs ago - world-wide.

Here's the info for the USA (11,500 bikes involved):

There was a second process to determine if your "foreign" purchased Dahon was invloved.

Curious how they notified US owners, since Dahon's info likely depended on customers having returned the Warranty Cards...also, what percentage of the 11,500 owners responded to have their bikes fixed? Thor, do you know?
