Springfield XDs Recall – 10/9 Email Update

Still testing, but they are almost done. There will be another update on Friday.

XD-S™ Upgrade Testing Very Near CompletionWe 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.

So, if we’re still testing, that means once the fix is decided on, I’m assuming they will have to then start production on the parts for the fix, and who knows how long that will take…

  1. Mine’s been in since August 5th. I have a class on Sunday that I guess I’ll just have to use a buddy’s Shield in.

    I really liked that XD-S.

    • Mine arrived with the first shipment on the Tuesday after Labor Day. I wasn’t angry or frustrated in the beginning, but I’m starting to feel that way.

      • Eh, I’m not *angry*, just disappointed. I agree with your sentiment on the podcast about never even sending your gun in had you known what the problem was and how long it would take to get it back but I understand they could be sued if they handled it any other way and someone was hurt.

        It just sucks. :\

      • Yeah. I just posted today’s update, at least we’re getting a free mag.
