The Remington distributor is Outdoor Brands NZ Ltd. 09 582 0818
It might pay to get hold of them to see what is the procedure for rifles here in NZ.
It could be simple case of getting a gunsmith to look it over.
From what I have found out it is most likely a case of excessive thread locker has been used.
In the US it seems the majority of people with affected rifles are simply replacing the triggers with Timney units.

Got some more info from the NZ distributor....
Don't panic. Its an American cover their ass press release. Basically all they know is that its likely to be excess loctite which would cause the trigger to not function. So if your rifle shoots ok, its going to be ok. However, they have asked Remington for more info and will put out a notice in all hunting press once they know more.

Message from Gunworks regarding the Remington recall......
We are the South Island agents for the REMINGTON RECALL
See if your Model 700™ or Model Seven™ Rifle is affected
http://xmprecall.remington.com/
You must then type in your rifle serial number, you will then be asked what country you are in, select New Zealand, this will then refer you to the New Zealand Remington Recall website. Remington NZ will then send you a PDF form to fill out and they will contact you when your trigger replacement is available
If you are in the South Island you will then be referred to us, however
you must do this process first.
Note : If your trigger has this mark (as per the picture) on the bolt release then your trigger has already been replaced
