My G20 is being held at port due to a recall

Hi all. I ordered my new 330i xDrive on 6/26 and have been tracking it through production, transport, etc. Other than a few glitches in the reporting, it was moving pretty smoothly.

The status was "in transit" for awhile, and then it went backwards to "in port" and stuck. Concerned that it had never left Germany, I contacted my SA. It turns out that the car is in the Port of Baltimore being held for a recall. I dropped by to see my SA yesterday (after the M-Town event), and he walked me through his screen which shows that it is being held for a "center rear head restraint latching pin" recall. I googled my VIN, but I found no open recalls. When I googled the actual words, I found an Audi/VW recall by that name.

Anyone familiar with this recall impacting BMW? Possible they all use the same suppliers. Timeline for resolution? Seems like it is an inspection which one would think would clear quickly, unless they found a problem.

In advance, thanks!
