Glock Gen4 Recoil Spring Recall
 |
This is the letter that my friend received from Glock, Inc. along with the replacement recoil spring for his Gen4 Glock 17.
Dear Valued Glock Customer:
Glock has developed a new design to the recoil spring assemblies (RSA)
in its Gen4 pistols to replace several variations that are functioning
in the market today. To ensure our customer's continued confidence and
enjoyment with their pistol, Glock will replace the recoil spring in the
affected Glock Gen4 model pistol at no cost (Gen 4 G26 and G27 models
are not affected).
The replacement RSAs have been extensively tested and they prove to
funtion as intended with the quality and reliability that is expected
from all Glock products. The replacement of the Gen4 RSA can be
performed as part of the regular field strip process (see Safety
brochure enclosed). There is no need to take your Glock Gen4 pistol to
an armorer.
Having indicated that you own a Glock model Gen4 pistol with an affected
RSA, find enclosed the correct replacement RSA(s) for your Glock model
Gen4 pistol(s) referenced above, a safety brochure to properly replace
your RSA. Also, enclosed is a pre-paid label and packaging for you to
return the old RSA(s) to complete the exchange.
Glock takes the safety of our customers very seriously. Reliability and
quality of our products are always our highest concern. We appreciate
your immediate attention to this matter and apologize for any
inconvenience this may have caused you.
Sincerely,
Glock, Inc.
