A friend of mine who rides for Maguire out in SF forwarded the below message to me. My 02 Cervelo came speced with WCS wheels. Anyone know if these are recalled as well?

All Ritchey sponsored teams:
In conjunction with the CPSC, we have officially filed for a voluntary recall on our WCS rear wheels that use the licensed American Classic rear hub. These WCS rear hubs have had a few isolated problems with the spring, clutch plate, and pawl engagement system. We do have a solution in place for the hubs at this time. All wheels out there currently will be repaired at no cost to you.
We are in the process of setting up a special 800 number for you to call to get your wheels in for repair. Turnaround time will be at a minimum.
Once we get this set up, I will let you know. Until then, please stop riding your WCS rear wheels.
If you currently have wheels on order:
All wheels in inventory are also being retrofitted. This will be approximately a three to four week process. All backorders will be shipped then. This includes all Protocol and Carbon wheels.
Thanks for all of your patience.
Please don?t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
