I don't understand what's going on here. Mind you I am in Europe, so maybe stuff in the US is different. And I don't think the dealer would replace this because he decided so himself, since I didn't buy the car there.

ADDITIONALLY
Francorchamps is not here in the US. If for some reason either the club running that specific event or the track officials are restricting access for specific cars due to “recall” work it might be a decision on their part in order to limit potential liability as much as any inherent danger in using the cars without having the work done. Tough to say what the situation is with that…

I sent you my VIN btw.

This may be market specific. I was told of a recall on CL this week by the shop foreman at my local dealer. My RS was in for routine service at the time. Th required parts for the recall had not arrived yet. Mine was an early RS, one of the first delivered in Canada in fact.
Let me know if you hear of something from the dealer.
thanks

Mine is currently at the dealer which confirmed that THERE IS NO OUTSTANDING TSB w/r/t Centerlocks.

Here's what my service guy from Jim Ellis Porshce sent me yesterday morning. Confirms above statement...
"Lewis,
Hey, hope you got my voicemail. After asking a number of people and searching through all service bulletins and searching my Porsche information website the only Porsche literature I have found on the center locks is the one we already know about, the grease and torque specs. Hope the track was good to you last weekend. When is the next event you will be running at Road Atlanta, I want to see if I can come out and see your “Red Racin Machine” buzzing around the track. I will keep my ears open for any new news regarding the center locks and keep you posted. Let me know when you need your next track inspection.
Thank you,
Steven"

Well, well. Look what dropped on the mat this morning:
Replacement central bolts as many sets as you own.
Hope this helps our American buddies

PS - Just had my 12,000mile service and noticed there was no part number ordered for the Anti-roll bar mounts. Phone the Centre back. "Oops, sorry Sir we forgot!" Worth checking guys (orevent putting a small mark or some such on your old ones as it goes for the intermediate???

Thanks LuckyP 
I've over torqued the crap out of mine a few times.
And all other times at least 600Nm.
You could read this as 600Nm would be too much unless greased just so.
Mine have always been greased and checked, replaced with wheel in the air.
The bolts seem the same, except for the text on it as to how heavy to torque them..

I assume they found the nuts are compromised when torqued to 500 and raced. I'm guessing they're replacing both the nutcase engineer that approved the design and the nut itself, but I wonder if they'll replace those pathetic dust caps.
By anti-roll, I guess you mean anti-sway and this is related to something that broke on your car, not to a recall.
