[CL9] Power Steering Hose Recall 2011 (ALL CL9 owners please read)

For me, I did not pay anything extra during the PS hose recall with Larke Hoskins Homebush. They did not flush the fluid for me (nor did they suggest that I should do so), so all they did was top up any fluid that was lost during the hose change.

Fair enough, this was my initial thought as well.
Why do we need to change it now, and not when it is due to be changed "by the book"?
