No, that would have nothing to do with this accident at all. That advisory from Airbus (just like the identical advisories that every other aircraft manufacturer in the world has been requested to put out this year) is a consequence of the findings in the accident report for the Dash 8 that crashed in Buffalo, New York - the crew did not recognize a stall, and they pulled rather than pushed.

One of the recommendations in the NTSB report was that aircraft manufacturers restate procedures for Abnormal Airspeed (Stall) Recovery.

No, I suspect it is just co-incidence. I work for an aircraft manufacturer, I just finished writing up a similar advisory for an aircraft that we hold the type certificate for. Trust me, it has to do with complying with the findings of that Colgan accident report.
