The recall has absolutely nothing to do with your torn top. They are not going to replace your top because of a recall that affects the operation of the seatbelts. The recall clearly states:
"VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CONVERTIBLE PASSENGER VEHICLES. WHEN THE CONVERTIBLE TOP IS DOWN AND THE SEAT IS PUSHED ALL THE WAY BACK, THE SEAT BELTS MAY NOT RETRACT PROPERLY RESULTING IN SLACK IN THE SEAT BELTS."
You have an 8-year old convertible. Tops wear out. Good luck with it.

It's a replacement tonneau cover, not a replacement top. No Free top.

I looked close at my car when my seat was back and the top was down, and itis actually the frame of the top pushing against the belt causing it to not go back, so how else would they fix it other than replaceing the frame ?
