Old news at this point. There have been several threads already, and as noted above the 'FS Haterz' have already had their fill, and will no doubt continue to do so.

Meh. It is not a recall on the FS mechanism. Has to do with the possibility of stress corrosion weakening the collar that secures the steerer tube -- based on one reported instance of corrosion that could lead to failure.

My read? Kudos to Specialized for acting on this possibility, and acting quickly. No big deal. I for one have a FS bike on order, and will not be cancelling that order. I am assuming that my bike will have had that fix installed when it arrives at my lbs.
