Bikes built after August 2025 came without the gear indicator: who has had it fitted back?

Mine is older and has the gear display, so this one passed me by until I read the Moto365 piece on the free retrofit.
Short version of what I understood. Classic 350, Meteor, Hunter and Goan Classic built after August 2025 went out with only a neutral light instead of the full gear position display, because the magnets used in the sensor got caught in the rare earth shortage. Supply is back, and Royal Enfield is now fitting the part free at authorised service centres, with eligible bikes identified by VIN (Rushlane, BikeWale).
So, newer bikes in this club. Tell me your year, variant and odo reading, whether your cluster shows the gear or just neutral, and what the service advisor actually said when you asked. Did anyone get a call or an app notification, or did you have to chase it yourself?
Curious how evenly this is reaching Kerala dealers.

Does the retrofit need the bike to come in, or can the SA do it as a quick add on during a regular service visit? Curious how long the fitment actually takes.
