Posted my update above before I saw your post...WTF?!? Calling my dealer today.

Update: Talked to Bob's and the Service Adviser indicated that they knew about the service bulletin...WTF! (again). New frame is on order, but plan on having a chat with the Service Manager when I go to have the frame mounted. Conversation will go something like..."So you told me this was a lock problem, not covered by warranty and felt the need to charge me for a "Macgyver" fix; but didn't feel the need to tell me about the service bulletin and the potential mounting frame issue...kindly explain please." Total BS in my mind.
