RECALL ON XD-S 9mm and 45ACP

Springfield has determined that under exceptionally rare circumstances, some 3.3 XD-S™ 9mm and .45ACP caliber pistols could experience an unintended discharge during the loading process when the slide is released, or could experience a double-fire when the trigger is pulled once. The chance of these conditions existing is exceptionally rare, but if they happen, serious injury or death could occur.

What pistols are involved?
This Safety Recall applies only to:
Springfield 3.3 XD-S™ 9mm pistols - serial numbers between XS900000 and XS938700
Springfield 3.3 XD-S™ .45ACP pistols - serial numbers between XS500000 and XS686300.
 
I'll have to figure out what to do. Do they need the gun sent in for repair if it's affected or something? I can't find any info.

I just traded for mine recently when I moved to NH, and have only shot 300 rounds through it. No issues at all though. Fires every single time. I have the 9mm version. It is brand new.

Grrrreat.
 
All posts on XDtalk have been good, no issues except a "about time".

Sucks, I really love it. I'm not throwing SA under the bus until we find out if it's a bad batch or QC related.

I'm thinking QC rushing to get them out quicker to reach demand. If the XD/XDm aren't affected (and they use the same grip safety as XDm I believe), then it's likely...
 
Well, with all of those guns effected, this could take weeks to get my damn gun back.

I finally get a carry weapon, and I already have to send it in for repair. [laugh]

I'll be waiting to send mine in anyway, I'm all set with someone else holding mine for like a year just to tell me it wasn't actually affected.

I was able to get through to the site and entered my serial number for my .45. The number is XS5750XX. The site told me that my pistol is NOT on the recall list. This means you can't go by the range of serial numbers alone. You must check with the site.


I was able to check my 9mm and serial number XS9033XX and it also is NOT on the recall list.

when I entered s/n XS507xxx it says mine is not part of the recall, I'm confused

Looks like not all guns in those ranges are affected. Need to check the website when it gets working again.

Just got off the phone with Springfield. This is apparently as a result of the story related on this site of multiple rounds fired for no apparent reason. Grip safety issue. Only the one case but Springfield is taking no chances. I'm now at at 1,968 rounds thru my XDs9 and no failures of any kind. Springfield is a standup company and I'm gladly sending it back to get this squared away ASAP.

From XD forum.
 
Hey everyone, those of you that are entering your Serial # and coming back with a "Not part of the recall result" there seems to be an issue with that part of the site as well.

After speaking with Springfield they said there's something wrong with their site and they are getting fixed but my gun IS part of the recall even though the website said it wasn't. So if your gun falls between those serial numbers and you want to send it for work, then I would recommend calling and waiting on hold for 10 minutes.

I think that the site was faulty and saying it wasn't in the range...

Read my last post. People are being told to call, because their site is giving bad info to people.

I'm calling first thing tomorrow morning.

I just called, and they have an extension for XDs recall owners.

It's closed obviously. SO I will call first thing in the morning, and report back as soon as I hear something.
