Springfield XDs 9mm & 45 Saftey Recall

[sigbrown1297]

I wonder if that is for people that are just now sending them in or if the 4 weeks is still good for those that sent it in right away.

[BigK]

I sent mine in the Monday following the announcement. I REALLY hope to get it back soon, so I can run enough rounds through it to trust it for carrying again.

 

I didn't realize how much I'd miss it that lil guy until I started carrying a bigger/heavier gun in its place. It's funny that the gun it replaced as my primary EDC was small/light in my eyes until I got used to the XD-S.

Ya makes me wish I would have kept my Kahr pm9.

[Guest rmse9]

I've seen on other firearms boards that there is a lot of discussion about an 8 to 12 week turnaround time. Cannot verify if rumor, speculation or truth. With so many being returned I would bet the turn around will far exceed 30 days. Mine was received at return site on 8/30 and I anticipate its return any day. Hope I am not disappointed.

Mine was unfired , if it turns out to be 12 weeks I'm gonna be one unhappy camper !

[Hotrod]

Called Springfield last week. Still say 30 day turnaround... Hope I hear something soon.

[BigK]

I spoke to a guy at The Nashville Armory on Monday. They had to send back over a dozen 9mm & 45 XD-S.

I know this is a 3rd-hand account by now, but he said a customer came in late last week saying he already had his back. If true, that gives me hope.

[DAdams]

[JohnC]

Sent mine in today since they now say they have a fix. :up:

Don't hold yer breath. I almost forgot I bought one.

[BigK]

And a free extended magazine for or trouble.

I've read some posts on XDTalk that say some people didn't get an email offering a free magazine. Some just got the update about the fix and the date. So, I wonder if everyone will get a free magazine or only those who sent theirs in early?

[TripleDigitRide]

Looks like they are starting to ship them back today....With increased trigger pull.

XD-Sâ„¢ Voluntary Safety Recall Update Status
Updated 10/18/2013   This information applies only to XD-Sâ„¢ pistols in the serial number ranges below

Springfield 3.3 XD-Sâ„¢ 9mm pistols - serial numbers between XS900000 and XS938700 
Springfield 3.3 XD-Sâ„¢ .45ACP pistols - serial numbers between XS500000 and XS686300

We are pleased to announce that the process of upgrading XD-Sâ„¢ pistols has begun, and we will start shipping TODAY on a first-received/first-upgraded basis. 

In our last update, we reported that upgraded pistols would start shipping sometime next week. But our team has been working around the clock and we are thrilled to start shipping today.

We have greatly increased our staff to get upgraded pistols back to customers quickly, and we are committed to achieving the fastest turnaround times possible. For now, we are unable to provide specific return shipping date ranges, but we do expect to share more information next Friday after we've had a full week to gauge how efficiently we will be able to complete this process.

When upgrades are finished on individual firearms, customers will receive a shipping notice and tracking information at the e-mail address they provided for the XD-Sâ„¢ recall. And as a token of our appreciation for our customers' patience and support, we will also be enclosing an XD-Sâ„¢ extended magazine with X-tension sleeve with each pistol we return.

As we reported last week, our engineers have redesigned the grip safety and created more positive engagement between the sear and striker on the upgraded XD-Sâ„¢ pistols. Our solution delivers the advantages of a smoother and more consistent trigger feel with just a slightly increased trigger pull. We chose this option based on the two most important attributes to self-defense firearm owners - safety and reliability - and we are confident that our customers will be extremely pleased with their upgraded pistols.

We want to again express our deep gratitude to all of our valued customers for their loyalty to Springfield Armory®. 

Please click the FAQ link in the red bar on top of this page to view our updated FAQ. 


This Springfield XD-Sâ„¢ Recall Update will be updated every Friday through the recall process. Please check back for updates. 

As a reminder, do not use your 3.3 XD-Sâ„¢ until the upgrade has been performed.

I got a letter today informing me of the recall. After 6 emails to the crusty Croatians I finally was sent a fed ex link. I should have asked them to make me a you tube video explaining how to dis assemble and pack and ship this monster of a firearm in.

I emailed Springfield and told them I would rather have a standard mag instead of the larger extended one , two standards will fit the mag carrier evenly and I don't want the longer one for carry.

[Fourtyfive]

Interesting read on returned XDS ......
