I came across this and thought someone might be interested.

My current shutter count. Granted it may not fail for a long time. My one-year warranty is up mid-May, but I may wait well beyond that time.

You have had it almost a year and only shot 1001 shots? I think I did that the first month or less
Mine is in the recall. I have never seen this issue. I'm not sending it in.
Funny thing is that this is one of those cases where being a very early adopter is a good thing. I got in early and wasn't in the first or second batch of serial numbers. I registered mine on October 19, 2014, so it's a bit of an anomaly I would think. I may contact Nikon anyway, if only to know that I could send mine in somewhere along the line as the shutter ages (I believe I'm over 15K actuations now).
And Bill, this is not about shutters failing. I emphasize this more for others than for you. Yes, you had an unfortunate incident with yours failing, but this recall has to do with the shutter mechanism leading to image shading when shooting directly into the sun, particularly when shooting video. The internet is full of misinformation, let's not create more.
I can't afford to send it in for servicing because it's my main body and portrait/wedding season is here for me already. I've never seen the issue on my camera so I doubt it will affect me after all this time.
After things die down, yes ... it's just nice to have the camera cleaned and extra things looked at.
I'm not Bill. It's Peter, but you can call me Pete. All my friends do.
Actually I'm not the only one with the unfortunate incident. I grant you it's not an epidemic , but it's not misinformation either.
I understand that.OK, Peter (my apologies), but regardless of how many people, epidemic or otherwise, the recall is not for the issue you or anyone like you experienced.
I understand that.
I can't help to wonder however if this shading problem could lead to the problem that I had. It's also curious that Nikon is calling the new affected cameras shading problems.
Perhaps they have gotten a batch of cameras in for the same problem I had and are now getting nervous about it.
So they are recalling these units just to be safe even though the shading problem does not exist on these units?
