2015 Hyperstrada buyer's guide?

I think my next bike will be an 821 Hyperstrada. Is there any difference between model years - if I go for a 15, would it have less recalls / TSB's to worry about? Is there a list of improvements per model year? Thanks!
 
Forgot to add - does Ducati cover all TSB's free in Canada, or do you have to pay for them? I would likely go to GP Bikes for service.
 
Also, is it true that all 2015 Hypers are low models with 130mm suspension travel and low seat? For 13-14's, how do you tell just by looking at them?
 
I think from memory, the sticker on the swing arm for chain adjustment states if its for low version as the adjustment is different for that model.
Any recalls should be carried out foc even when warranty has expired.

I have a low 2016 939 HS which was import to NZ with low kms from Japan. I confirmed that it was a factory low bike (as Mentalist mentioned) with the chain tension sticker on the swing arm. I didn't realize at the time of purchase but pleased as I'm a shorty.
 
Anything else that I should be aware of? Did these come with a red key or code card that I should check for?
 
The 821's came with an immobilizer code but the 1st gen model didn't have a theft lockout function available. The owner bag of extra's should include: spare luggage lock tumbler, spare key, owners manuals, and immobilizer code.
 
Does anyone know what weight range the 2015 low is sprung for?
