I also have a no dash 686 unmodified, I spoke with the local repair station, Bolsa Gunsmithing, and we discussed this. Some in the group need it and some don't. The owner said that they will replace the bushing on all that are sent/brought in, but if you've shoot a fair amount of magnum loads and don't have a problem you won't. He said most they changed out during the rush where just fine. The problem was S&W knew a batch of bad bushings went into production, but couldn't isolate them and had to recall all.
