I can confirm this. My Trek was in storage for quite awhile and it was redone at a bike shop as a late Christmas/early birthday present from my son. I would have never known had the caps for my pedals not been missing. I did some research and ran across the recall for the FC-MC12. FYI, the 800 number on the recall notice still works to reach Shimano and the rep was quite emphatic that, yes, they are still honoring that recall.
