Call Glock first..would be my thought
^^ This. call the 1-877 number and have your serial number handy.
From the Glock website.
GLOCK Inc. is voluntarily exchanging the recoil spring assembly (RSA) on its new Gen4 pistols (with the exception of G26 and G27 models). GLOCK has developed a new design to the recoil spring assemblies on its Gen4 pistols to replace several variations that are functioning in the market today. As part of the company’s commitment to perfection, we are voluntarily exchanging the existing RSA in order to ensure our products perform up to GLOCK’s stringent standards.
GLOCK is replacing the RSA in all Gen4s sold before July 22, 2011 at no cost. Please complete the following procedure to receive a new RSA. The RSA can safely and simply be swapped out using normal field stripping protocols. If you have additional questions, please contact GLOCK at 1-877-745-8523 with your serial number and model number.
CONSUMER ACTION:
Call 1-877-745-8523 with your serial number and model number to request your modified RSA. GLOCK will verify your serial number and collect shipping information
Within 30 days, GLOCK will send you a replacement RSA along with a pre-addressed envelope to mail in your old spring
Ensure your Gen4 is completely unloaded
Field strip your GLOCK per the instructions found in your ‘Instructions for Use’ manual that came with your pistol and replace the old RSA with the new one
Place the old RSA in the supplied shipping container and give to the United States Postal Service (USPS)

Generally all the newer Glock Gen 4's with the 4 backstraps are all updated. People call these the Gen 4.5. But as stated above, you can call Glock directly with your SN and they'll tell you right away.
Is there a recall on the G17 gen 4 extractor as well? Same procedure I'm guessing?
Not that I know of. But there is a non-dipped extractor if you are getting BTF extractions.
you may be able to check youself. from the youtube video below, you can see the difference between the defected one and the replacement.
my glock 22 gen 4 comes only with only 2 backstrap, so it's the older one. however, I never had any problem with it and the recoil spring looks exactly like the replacement one in the video.
based on the glock announcement posted here, glock will do replacement for anything sold before july 2011, so any defected ones should not be very far from that day. So, I would say if you got yours way after that day, never had any issue and it looks like the replacement shown in the youtube video below, you are safe.

Call up glock. They sent me a new recoil spring as mine was affected free of charge and very prompt.
BTF= brass to face? Yea, every now and again. (No, I'm not limp wristing, to pre-empt for those that may ask.)
