Not sure if SA actually makes them. This is from FAQ on the recall page


Why it's taking so long:
We pledge to you that we are working as fast as we can, and have greatly increased our staff and number of shifts to ensure that we are leveraging every hour in the day.

We understand that our decision to announce a voluntary safety recall without a final solution in place has caused confusion and frustration. We sincerely apologize for that inconvenience. However, your safety is, and always has been, our paramount concern. And that is why we decided to issue the voluntary safety recall before we had a guaranteed upgrade solution in place.

Our decision not to wait was based on putting you, our customer, first. Some companies build in several weeks of lead time before announcing their recalls. But, we didn't feel that was the most responsible approach in this case since our priority is your safety.

Please know that we are committed to resolving this matter as quickly as possible and we are committed to ensuring that you will be very pleased with your upgraded 3.3 XD-S™. As a reminder, do not use your 3.3 XD-S™ until the upgrade has been performed.

Just the XDs

I have a XD as well but I don't think they are involved in the shotty production that calls for a recall.

Quite a stretch there -- kinda like saying "I'm glad I only lost my left nut in that car crash. Wudda hated to lose both of 'em."

I'm OK with it so far.

They made it a very easy process, they aggressively took action, and I have no doubt they'll get it cured.

Take a look at how other manufacturers fight recalls.

This company took the high road and I bet they fixture problem.
