Exclamation XD-S™ Recall Update 10/09/2013

I am not sending mine in untill they have a "Fix". Ironically, mine has NEVER had any issues at all. I am not sure if there's a problem, maybe user error?
I WILL let hem "Upgrade" my XDS pistol, but no point in sending it in yet. They don't have a ""Fix"

XD-S™ Recall Update 10/09/2013

XD-S™ Upgrade Testing Very Near Completion

We last updated this site Friday, October 4, with the good news that we have found what we believe is the final solution for the XD-S™ upgrade and that we would be continuing exhaustive testing through the week.
We are very pleased to let you know that a large majority of the testing is complete and is going extremely well. We believe we are very close to being able to give our valued customers more specific information about when they can expect their XD-S™ pistols to be returned to them.

We will update this site again on Friday, October 11 and fully expect that we will have more great news to share.We are making final arrangements for upgrading the pistols that our customers returned to us.

In the meantime, please accept our heartfelt thanks for your patience, loyalty and support of Springfield Armory®. We remain fully committed to resolving this recall as quickly as possible and we are confident that you will be extremely pleased with your upgraded 3.3 XD-S™.

As a reminder, do not use your 3.3 XD-S™ until the upgrade has been performed.**

From what I heard they either don't go bang or go full auto? But not for sure on it.
