I've also been having similar issues of a left shifter meant for a triple used with a double, I always have to click twice to go into the smaller chainring. I've had to adjust my front derailleur limits adjusted twice in the last 6 months because after a while, the limits become off (I assume from the "extra" shift pushing the limits).

I tried googling "left 105 shimano shifter" and other possible combinations but could not find a page about a recall. Can you post a link please? I would really appreciate being able to get a shifter meant for a double!

Thanks!

fwiw, mine is the black 105.
