It's about time!!! I have already had one break and the second one is starting to swell inside the casing. The notice says it may take till the 3rd quarter to get enough stock of the new stainless cables so we may have a long wait yet!!! :D :D :D

I read the recall notice, but I did`nt see where they said they were going to replace them with stainless steel. They may just give us all some more of the same thing. Surely not.

Too bad they won't just give us money instead. Then we could buy what ever we want.
