and talked to a tech (dang it, forgot her name, had very strong North/South Carolina accent).
OK. deep breath, here goes: before 6/18, you apparently can install any way you line (with or without recline bar, LBP, SBP, whatever). She wouldn't say that there was a structural difference that occurred between 6/17 and 6/19, but sort-of implied so. She also continually called the advisory an "enhancement" and put me on hold twice to confirm (and I had her repeat multiple times). She said she was told this THIS morning.
That if I wanted to use the enhancement on pre 6/18 Regent, that was fine, but that it still met FMVSS 213 without, but AFTER 6/18 I MUST follow the enhancement.

sigh... This doesn't sound right to me. I can't imagine there being a difference, you know? Between the Husky and the Regent, sure, but not from one day to the next. I'm still in a predicament.

Me: So if I have a Regent manufactured on the 17th of last month, I don't have to use the recline bar to get an acceptable install
Her: Correct
Me: But if I have a Regent manufactured on June 19th, I have to use te recline bar
Her: Correct
Me: And if I can't get an acceptable install with that recline bar
Her: then you would have to return it
Me: So I guess I want to find a Regent made more than a month ago (half joking)
Her: that's what I would do
