The sponsoring registrar (godaddy) is responsible for fixing it, in fact 
they are suppososed to reenter your information to be listed directly at 
PIR whois (instead of as referral to their own whois) upon the transfer.
They are likely waiting to do it in bulk for multiple domains, but you can 
insist they do it ASAP for your domain, send email to their support.
