Do a search on "r-sys recall". There have been several threads.

There's actually a Mavic dealer here that has the nerve to charge $50 to handle any R-SYS exchange under this recall...

I've been wrong before, but I'm not entirely sure that's allowed. Perhaps you should talk directly to Mavic or CPSC about that?

I don't own R-SYS wheels...seemed like crap wheels when they came out (and fugly, too), and I'm glad now that I didn't buy them.
