I just get the Wheel Stud Recall for my 2012 3500 - I thought the recall was for newer models?

I wouldn't hurt my feelings to get (free) new studs installed on a 12 year old vehicle.....

Yeah except the fact in small print on the bottom it reminds you of the 67a recall to for the Emmissions. I received the postcard along with my father and it is just a lure tactic to get the truck in the shop to do both. Not happening.
No it is for all models reason over torquing. They used to torque the wheels at 140 foot lbs. New torque standard are 128 foot lbs.140 was stretching the studs and result the wheel shears the studs then big problems happen. Get it done for safety if nothing else.I just get the Wheel Stud Recall for my 2012 3500 - I thought the recall was for newer models?
Seems strange that the recall would be only for 3500 pickup, 4500 and 5500 CC trucks.
Why would the 2500 trucks like mine where the owners manual states 140lb wheel nut torque not be involved?
