TS 55 REQ recall, fact or fiction

Saw some mention of this while wandering the web. Is there any truth to this? Something about the blade not retracting as it should.

Hi -

Festool has requested stock back for inspection.... we are not aware of any consumer level recall.

I believe this is being pro-active, and responsible - given how new the product is.

Cheers -

Festool has notified the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Health Canada of a potential problem with the plunge mechanism on some TS 55 REQ Plunge-Cut Track Saws.  While investigation is continuing, Festool, in cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), intends to recall affected units. If you have a TS 55 REQ Plunge Cut Track Saw, please discontinue use immediately and call Festool directly at 1-855-784-9727.
