I have used one for about a year now. NO problems. The recall is due to the fact that if after making one cup of coffee, and then immediately made a second one, the water for the second one would be going into the unit which already has a very hot heating element from the first cup. This could lead to water being heated too quickly and possible spraying out some hot water. I called, a recall fix kit is on the way to me.
Actually any drip type coffee maker will do the same thing, if you pout water into an already hot maker from a previous cup or pot.
