25 Hour Carb Inspectioms Part 2

My previous thread was locked, so starting another. I originally posted the following 4 months ago:
I have just purchased a new aircraft with a new 912ULS. I have seen:
legacy.rotaxowner.com/si_tb_info/serviceb/sb-912-065ul.pdf and am subject to these inspections. My questions are as follows:
1. Any update on new floats to fix this problem to stop the 25 hour inspections?
2. Would these inspections be covered by the new engine warranty? and if so, how would I claim this?
3. Will replacing the floats be covered by warranty?
I must say, that for those not under warranty, Rotax should step up and fix the float problem at Rotax's expense.

A new SB has been issued that to my understanding will end the 25 hour inspections. Problem is that the new SB requires that the floats must be changed out;
"Carry out this exchange of the floats on the engines listed in section 1.1., according to the instructions in section 3 at the next BRP maintenance event or within the next 25 hours of operation, but at the latest after 60 days (from the date of the initial issue of this Service Bulletin)."
So, we get at the most 25 hours or 60 days (April 28) to make the exchange.
Problem is that there has been no announcement of float avaibility.
SB also stated tho old floats must be returned at customer's expense
