Does anyone know at this point what the recommended fix is, and how the fix will be implemented?
Under the settlement, which still must be approved by a judge, Remington has agreed to retrofit the rifles in question at no cost to the owner. Many users had new trigger mechanisms installed on their own, and Remington will reimburse them as part of the settlement. For guns that cannot be retrofitted, the company plans to offer vouchers for Remington products.
The settlement covers more than a dozen models, specifically the Model 700, Seven, Sportsman 78, 673, 710, 715, 770, 600, 660, XP-100, 721, 722 and 725.

I don’t own a 700, but with its history and the vast number of owners it has, I’m guessing this is a lawyer promulgated action resulting form lawsuits where odd circumstances and circumstantial evidence was contorted to indicate Remington screwed up somehow.
Bolt action rifle with an accompanying history of successful use and other knowledge and technology insertion of bolt action rifles going back much farther. To me, I’d use this as an opportunity to buy one on sale somewhere.
