That statement is consistent with their recall notice. If you tighten the brake cable (undo the cable bolt and pull it more taught, not letting the arm return to its resting position) and/or use the barrel adjuster to a very large degree, it would affect the travel path of the arm. Their bulletin states that if the arm is moved enough, it will "dislocate". So it does make sense.

I'm still on the fence as to whether I'll be sending mine back. Still haven't even installed it on bike yet.
