Mine's in the serial # range for sure. Looks like I will give Springfield a call, their Customer Service has always been excellent in the past, I expect nothing less this time too, though there might be a bit of lead time I bet.

Look, folks, let's not get our neckties in a knot.
The likelihood an unsafe incident is almost nil. Springfield is taking extra precaution just like Ruger and S&W has done with their firearms. And they're voluntarily doing this as a preemptive measure.
Inconvenient? Yes. Something to consider when in the market for one? Sure. But let's not blow this out of some ungodly proportion...

Well, I suppose that's what I get for buying a new model handgun that hasn't gotten the kinks worked out. My first Springfield that I bought back in June. Also the first recall I've ever had to deal with. I'll send mine in, and hope it gets back to me soon.
For you experienced Springfield owners - is this an anomaly or do they often use customers for product testing?

I have been considering the purchase of an XDs .45. I have been waiting for my dealer to get them in to make the final decision.
The light strike and failure to return to battery issues have influenced my thinking negatively.
SA has now helped me with that decision...I'll wait a few months before buying any XDs if at all.
Good for SA for stepping up and issuing the recall.

This is the first recall that I'm aware of that has affected XD pistols.
Reading some of the comments here, I find it funny that a company does the right thing, and issues a safety recall, and all of a sudden they are in the wrong and their products are junk.....
I saw these same types of comments posted when Ruger issued recalls on some of their firearms as well.Shane Tuttle

All I can say, Idaho, is consider separating the wheat from the chaff when researching to conclude the reasoning behind statements.
Wow, Had mine for nearly 8 months no issues at all, Will send it in better safe than sorry. Just have to shake my head at all the negative comments, wonder what car these guys drive since every manufacturer of cars has had massive recalls in the last few years. Guess they all ride bicycles now.
I mailed mine out today with the prepaid FedEx label. It will arrive Tuesday to Springfield due to Labor Day holiday.
I didn't have any problems with the gun, but the chance of a ND when loading the pistol is scary. A double fire on a CCW would be kind of cool. It would make double taps very easy to perform haha

Springfield is still ignoring their xds elephant in the living room. Many xds are failing to go into battery and have light off center primer strikes 5% of the time. Mine went back, they didn't fix it, I had to take a bath on that deal. Never again will I buy anything Springfield Armory because I know they won't stand behind their products.
