I had another problem with my Allison transmission (wrong programming) and they noticed this bulletin. It was very convenient to do it all at once. This also allowed me to upgrade to the Transynd fluid for only the difference in cost between the standard stuff.
In order to fix it they had to pull the torque converter and drain it. This made for a very clean and complete fluid change.
It sounds like, if you don't have a complaint don't call. Mine was actually fixed in 2002.
