Nope, an approved gunsmith can do the fix. You have to pay the gunsmith, and Remington reimburses you threw a Remington gear credit... They don't give you the cash back.
I haven't followed the history closely, but would bet that when our society started to become so dang litigious Remington decided it would be best to offer some sort of a fix
I know this because in 2006 I had my buddy's girlfriend sneak me the gun, and I had the safety fixed, and had his trigger pull set to 3lbs for his Christmas present... We had just started to get into reloading at the time.
I wish I had taken the pic of the confused look on his face when he received his own rifle as a Christmas gift!!!
