I believe the release mechanism was in the $60 range, but I got a good price on it from the dealer (quantity discount?). Not cheap, but it could be worse.
One advantage of the new release mechanism is that it comes with an improved rod design. The rod is a vertical piece that connects the release mechanism with the latch at the bottom. In the old design, the rod connects to the latch with a plastic ball and socket joint. That joint isn't too strong, and the rod has been known to pop out. Now you need to crawl back there to release the latch. The new design is much stronger, and shows no sign of wanting to pop out.
Good luck!
