Wow - yes, mine was affected by the notice. They say I'll be receiving a replacement in 15-20 days.
It's been my tow car companion on 3 trips to Bonneville, a trip to Maxton, and sat "at the ready" in my garage for 8 years.
Or so I thought . . .
Glad I didn't need to use it!
Thanks Mike - I owe you a cocktail.
