BREAKING: Springfield Armory Issues Safety Recall on XD(s) Pistols
Springfield Armory has issued a limited recall on a run of their extremely popular XD-S concealed-carry pistols. The recall is for both 9mm and .45 ACP models of handguns.
This is a voluntary safety recall for a very rare problem that causes the gun to fire when chambering a round and may also cause pistols to double-fire. This is only for the new single-stack XD-S pistols, not the subcompact, compact, full-size or competition XD-M pistols.
Springfield is asking all users to verify if their XD-S pistol fall within the serial number range of potentially-affected handguns.
“We want to emphasize that no injuries have been reported to date,” explains Springfield on the recall information page. (The page is down at the time of writing, likely due to a traffic overload. However the main XD-S pistol page is still up and warns of the recall.)
According to the press release, 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
