I just had a quick look at the recall notice

and if there is an "R" on the hinge face, then it has been "repaired" and is excluded from recall. So that means if yours is from that particular time, it could be one for recall. But since it is a design fault, replacing it with the same thing but repaired, probably means they Loctited the heck out of all the screws, something you could as well.
