07-08 Recall for possible fire..??

I don't know if this has been brought up but just incase it hasnt....
I was reading in Diesel World that there's a recall on the 2007-2008 HD Rams for the "blanket" (i forgot what it's called) under the hood catching on fire. I dont have the mag in front of me, but i guess it sags enough to touch the motor. Dodge is installing clips to hold it up out of the way.....
Just FYI.... If this is a repost please delete.

Thank you for the information. I have noticed that the blanket is touching on top of the air cleaner intake where the electrical connection is on my Stock 07 5.9.
