Why did "the shop" dissassemble the suspension system to replace a starter?

Our LR3 is finally here after 5 1/2 months. Getting prepped at the dealer this week and hopefully we can pick it up friday.
Hi, i'm getting ready to purchase either an LR3 or LR4. From what i am reading on here, it appears LR has not really addressed the tire/bushing problems from 2005. I find that a bit distrubing for starters. But anyway, I asked the salesman i am dealing with about this issue. His reply is:
"They revised the bushings and alignment components. The bushings would
settle and cause 'toe-in' which resulted in abnormal tire wear and
excessive tire chopping and cupping. All the problem vehicles were
recalled by Land Rover and in some cases, the customer received a free set
of tires."
Is this a fact? or for the mechanics on here would this even solve the problem?
Thanks in advance!

Mine is in the shop now. 24,875 miles, Needed the 4-wheel alignment, plus a few things. The rubber strip (rain diverter) over the two doors on the passenger side was falling off, the outside A-Pillar cover on the passenger side was falling off, the third-row seat belt on the drivers side stopped retracting, and the rear lower tailgates retracting cable on the drivers side frayed. Nothing major - love this truck.
