Just seen this, and hadn't seen it posted on CGN, I may give them a call for the other style bolt cover end.

SAVAGE ARMS RECALL NOTICE

Savage Arms B.MAG Bolt (17 WSM)

August 24, 2015

Dear Valued Customer,

Savage Arms has discovered that the bolt on some B.MAG rifles may inadvertently catch the safety button and slide it forward into the "fire" position. This condition is primarily present if downward pressure is applied to the bolt too early while pushing it forward. While Savage has received no reports of accidents due to this condition, we have decided to offer free retrofits of all B.MAG rifle bolts out of an abundance of caution and in our ongoing commitment to quality and safety.

To avoid possible unintentional discharge or injury, do not use your B.MAG rifle until your bolt has been retrofitted with a new bolt handle and cap. For instructions on receiving your free bolt retrofit, visit www.savagearms.com/recall/bmagbolt/. For other questions related to this bolt recall, call us at 844-784-3301 Monday through Friday 8am to 10pm EST. This retrofit only applies to Savage B.MAG rifle bolts.

The bolt retrofit includes the replacement of the existing bolt handle and bolt cap with a revised bolt handle and bolt cap.

The correct, revised parts are easily identified:
 
Has anybody got the parts from Savage yet? I have been waiting over 6 weeks and nothing. Did the recall thing on line. I guess that the US comes first. Was in Wholesale Sports in Winnipeg today and the heavy barrel they had on the display had the new cap and bolt handle. They have had NO 17 WSM ammo for a long time, and didn't know when they would be getting any. Cabela's Wpg had a lot last week. Guess I just have to keep waiting!!!
 
first thing i did was replace the bolt with a sniper bolt and had to fix the saftey so it would work out of the box. JO Brook sells 17WSM by the brick
