Out of curiosity - do they have to lift the car to check? Given all the conversation about dealers denting the car in lifting, I'm a bit concerned...
Yes you car is showing that the recall is currently "open". That could mean one of two things. It has not been done, or it has been done but that the warranty claim submitted by the dealership hasn't passed through the system. Unlikely that a month after delivery the claim hasn't been submitted. So best to assume that the recall needs to be done.
It is something that should have been done before you took delivery of the car.
Finally, the car may have to be lifted. The first step of the recall procedure is to inspect the inboard seat adjuster studs. If any of them fail the inspection they must be replaced.
Replacement happens from under the car. The replacement procedure does advise the tech to check the service information for the proper lifting procedure.
By all means, feel free to point out to the service department, or leave a note in the car or on the outside to lift carefully and properly.
