Yes, but it isn't the 152. There have been two C-150 incidents of the rudder jamming which prevented spin recovery. It has been a Service Bulletin for years and has finally become an AD.

There are two ways to comply with the AD.
1. Find out which of the two kits you need and replace the "suspect" parts.
2. Placard the panel to advise the occupants that no aerobatic maneuvers including spins are approved.

Considering that the 150 is 52 years old I'd say this is much ado about nothing but it is what it is.
