Thanks for sharing this. I heard something about it yesterday while I was out and was going to start a thread myself when I got back to my computer and then completely forgot to when I did.
VERY limited production batteries (February and March 2012 dates). Most of them were shipped with the D800 and J1 cameras in March and April. I have 3 and none of them are involved in the recall.

True, and my two batteries weren't part of the recall, either. But I'd hate to hear about someone on UHH run into a problem with their brand new D800 - better to do a quick check than have a really bad day, IMHO.
No doubt. These batteries are in short supply due to the D800 and D800E introduction, as well as the resumption of D7000 production. I saw 4 on the shelf at my local Best Buy just 2 days ago though. Maybe I will stop in and see if they are recall serial numbers.
They are great batteries, I cannot believe the shooting life I get out of them!
I must also commend Nikon for the way they are handling this recall. You call in your serial number to Nikon and they confirm whether or not is a recall item. They then send out a UPS courier to recover the bad battery and hand deliver a replacement to you on the spot.
Now THATS the way to handle a problem!!!!
KUDOS Nikon!
(And a perfunctory BOO to Sony who manufactures these batteries for Nikon cameras.)

I'm not a Nikon shooter but that is certainly a stand up way to correct a problem. Good for them. Keeps the pressure on the competition which benefits the market as a whole.

Now we'll have to watch and see what Canon does about their light leak fiasco on the 5D Mk III
If they drop the ball they will probably be the biggest losers.

They never did address the AF hunting problem with the Mk II, just let it slide. Only time will tell.
Oh, and what happened to the 1DX that was supposed to release last September, November, January, May, Summer????????
The battery for my D-7000 is OK. UHH Rocks .so does Nikon for the way they are handling this problem.
