Hard pill to swallow for them to have to disassemble this lens for this issue 
Mine is pristine and dust free inside and not keen on them to diassemble

My 800 is UY0508 so doesn't fall under the numbers listed as per canon. Should it be sent in anyways to get updated?

I do not think so. Your lens was built using the updated assembly, thus no need for the recall.
My 800L falls into the same new version too.

Hello all
I could not find mention about the 1Dx being affected too, but I can say it is.
I just switched from 1D4 to 1Dx and had the surprise to see my 200mm (code ending in 01) is also affected. The clicking is very clear & strong and this is exactly the malfunction described for the 5D3 in this thread.
I'm talking with Canon Japan, they have a hard time reconizing the issue and claim I should come over and pay for repairs since this "affects only 5D3" ... no way obviously, I'll push to get proper service
Anyway if you have a lens in the affected range, just get it fixed

Before my 200L was fixed by Canon, I tried it both on my 5D3 and 1DX. It worked without any problems / noises on the 1DX and was noisy as described on the 5D3. FWIW.

Thank you Stanj
Yes, since it has been a year now and I can't find on the net any thing about the 1Dx being affected (inc canon own website), I guess my case is very rare. Even Canon Japan is suspicious about the problem.
So I just wanted to give the info that it can happen. I will get it repaired and hope Canon will reconize the issue too.

I will test my 200/2 and 800/5,6 with my 1DX in a couple of weeks. Both lenses have the numbers there where affected with the 5D3

I didn't read all through the thread so most likely already answered. Canon knows about this and has for some time. You have to send the 200 in and they fix it. They won't do it until you actually have a 5D3, though I have read of a few getting it done, even though they don't have the 5D3 yet.

Hej Lars
Since I could not find other reports of the 1Dx being affected, I think almost everybody is fine, although testing your lenses is a good idea
Thanks again for the CF testing and post
Jamato > Yes the fix is posted in the last pages, it is one year old already, so I guess everybody is happy now.
The only thing new here is that it affects my 1Dx, so they do not reconize the problem. I may have to make a video of it to convince them, I don't know. I just dropped a line to inform people, so they test when they pick up their 1Dx (and not loosing time as I do)
