it all happened after the split of Tern from Dahon (and family divorce). The first few years of production in the chinese factory (initially a subcontractor of the Taiwanese Dahon factory, if memory serves) had some welding expertise issues and the after-sales/warranty service was not good hence the poor initial reputation. However, things settled and later models are deemed fine.
The recall appears to affect frame manufacturer up to 2012

However, from bicycle magazines, it appears these frames equiped bike sold until 2014.
