Have you guys checked with Sony about getting the battery replace (i.e. is
it one included in the recall) ?

I have the same problem with my old laptop (a Sony VAIO if that matters). 
When I first got the battery it was okay, but after a short period of time 
(maybe a month?) it started doing this... no matter how long you charge 
it, it never finishes charging.

The worst part is, since I keep my laptop plugged in when I'm not using 
it, it constantly uses electricity, increasing my electric bill.  So I 
take the battery our when I don't need it.  It stops the electric meter 
from running, but doesn't really solve the problem.

The battery does appear to be getting worse, but it's happening slowly. 
Now I can only use the battery for about an hour before the computer shuts 
down.

Anyway... let me know if you discover a cure :)
