I’ll definitely wait for the smoke to clear on this issue. The pre-owned offerings should be plentiful. |

If I remember right the e2 1 speed in 1998 ish had an issue with their motors as well. I think they ended up extending the warranty's and changing out the motors to the gs version. |

I have an SRX and mines doesn’t seem to be acting this way. Would the distributor who sold me mines contact me if they think mines would have an issue? Because if it wasn’t for this I would’ve never known about said recall. |

My thing is this. If no body found out about it online such as here and a few other websites, then how would owners of the SRX, myself included, find out about this problem. I’ve had my unit for a little over 5 months and it seems to be working fine. |

How will these letters be sent out. Like will Rexair themselves send out the letters or will they sent it to the distributor who will then turn around and contact the customers themselves via these letters? |

all the testing they do at their factory and still this. Anyway, I've never thought my E2 gold speed ran hot ever. Warm yes, hot no.
Speaking of fires. I had a Kenmore Progressive (burgundy) from like 2004 ish that I gave to my dad. It was used when I gave it to him but I had bought it new. He told me he was outside vacuuming his car and it burst into flames. He said it went up so fast that he was so lucky he was outside with it when it happened. |

Another question I have is, is this a simple quick fix thing. Like can I go into a service store and have it done within a half hour or so? Or is this something that’s gonna keep my SRX in the shop for a little bit? |
