All HDs have been manufactured on December 2008. Seagate offers an online detector system allowing you to identify if your HD is potentially affected or not. You will need to enter the serial number at the following address: https://apps1.seagate.com/rms_af_srl_chk
If your HD is internally plugged, you will find information related to the serial number in system information under SATA tab. If it is plugged via an external enclosure, you might get the information too from the system (depending on the bridge), or you will have to disassemble it (it voids the warranty, so it you installed the HD yourself, no problem, if you purchased the external HD as a complete unit, you better contact your reseller).
If your HD is detected as faulty, Seagate will ask you to contact its customer support service, as no firmware update has been made public so far.
