OS X Yosemite install did not update recovery partition

Hi, I just installed OS X Yosemite, and tried to go to the recovery partition in order to perform a fresh install.

However, my recovery partition is still showing as 10.9 Mavericks.

The Yosemite install did not update the recovery partition.

What can I do?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

This seemed to have worked... the drive has been formatted, and Yosemite is installing again, thank you 🙂
