I received one of the certified letters today, indicating that I should remove the both spindles from service immediately.  The letter goes on to say that I should return the spindles for a free replacement set made through an upgraded process.

I haven't put my front suspension back together yet so this isn't a big problem at this moment.  I am curious how shipping costs will be handled and how long it will take to get the replacements.  I'll add more details to this post as I get them.   

I will give them the benefit of the doubt (for now) for trying to get ahead of the problem.

They want us to return them now and say they will send replacements "When they become available"... Whenever that might be.  :dunno:  :clueless:

They want to get the evidence back in their hands just as quickly as possible before someone gets seriously hurt by a faulty product.   :thinkerg:

I traded emails with the Right Stuff customer service folks earlier today.   No ETA as of yet on the replacement spindles.   Once they do arrive, I'll be contacted to send my "old" ones to them via prepaid shipping which will trigger the replacement shipment.

The latest: 4 weeks until the replacements are on hand.  Ugh.
