Springfield Armory Recalls 3.3 XD-S Pistols for Safety Reasons

Editor — Tue, 03 Sep 2013 15:57:22 +0000

Springfield Armory (Springfield) is recalling certain 3.3 XD-S™ 9mm and 3.3 XD-S™ .45ACP pistols (serial numbers below). The reason for the safety recall is that “under exceptionally rare circumstances, some 3.3 XD-S™ 9mm and .45ACP caliber pistols could experience an unintended discharge during the loading process when the slide is released, or could experience a double-fire when the trigger is pulled once.” This could cause serious injury or death. If you own an XD-S 9mm or .45 ACP pistol subject to recall, stop using the pistol, carefully unload it, and return it to Springfield. Springfield will install new components that should eliminate the potentially dangerous condition.

This Safety Recall Applies to:
Springfield 3.3 XD-S™ 9mm pistols – serial numbers between XS900000 and XS938700.
Springfield 3.3 XD-S™ .45ACP pistols – serial numbers between XS500000 and XS686300.
Note: This Safety Recall does not apply to any XD® or XD(M)® pistols.

If you have one of the affected XD-S 3.3 pistols, go to the Springfield Recall Notice Page (or call 800-680-6866). Click on the Get Started link at the top of the Recall Notice Page. Enter your serial number and click Next. The serial number is located on the frame beneath the dust cover (accessory rail). If your pistol is subject to recall, you will need to provide your contact info. If you no longer own the 3.3 XD-S™ 9mm or .45ACP pistol, please advise Springfield of the current owner.

Springfield will provide a return authorization and mailing label, so owners can return affected XD-S pistols at no cost. Springfield will then install upgraded components, and return the pistol. Visit www.springfieldrecall.com for further information or call 800-680-6866.
