I got a fancy e-mail from Garmin today with a special discount code to "buy" my new Vector 3 battery doors. Each door is normally $30 each (which is insane), but with the code, the $60 purchase was free. It says I'll get them in about 3 to 4 weeks. In the e-mail was also info on two other major issues they are having with Vector 3's. One is a loose spindle bolt, which you can fix yourself by taking the whole pedal apart, and the second issue is a separated pedal body and this error requires calling Garmin for servicing.
I received this same email this morning and was not aware of the loose spindle issue - I wonder if that is for the really early models as I did not experience this issue. I didn't see anything about the pedal body separating (unless they are referring to after the spindle becomes loose and then it separates).
I am going to tear mine apart tonight to verify if the hub/shaft is loose.
For anyone looking to review the service advisory you can do so here;

Garmin is being flat out upfront about everything on their emails and forum posts.
