[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 123169, member: 9240"] Recalls are an extremely difficult thing to manage, particularly given that distribution is through a network of independent, regional companies. A recall would need to be done by Nikon Japan, which would then cascade down to each of the others and would essentially require each and every D600 to be shipped back - at least within a range of serial numbers if they could isolate batches. A nightmare. Each region has acknowledged that there is a problem related to dust in the model, and I've just shipped mine for warranty service. Another post here stated that they got theirs back from Nikon USA with a new shutter and there is no evidence of dust since. I would hope that all current production is free of the issue. I know it was something that impacted early days of the D7000 as well, which impacted mine, but it went away after a couple thousand actuations. I can totally understand someone not wanting to have to turn around and ship a nearly new camera to Nikon for warranty service within a month of having it, but if it fixes a problem then it's worth it. You could also work with your dealer to see if they can assure that you get a more recently produced body that hopefully no longer exhibits the issue. [/QUOTE]
