Problem with Duplicate/Retired Record

The "United States World War I Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918" record for my grandfather has been retired. No problem with that, however, when I clicked on 'View Current Record' to attach the current record it shows his mother's name instead of his. What can I do about this?

    We've recently seen a few WWI draft registrations that are mistakenly indexed with the female contact name instead of the male registrant. There is at least one existing thread.
