I didn’t see it posted, but some Sub 2000s made in 2017 are being recalled. Apparently there’s an issue that could cause the barrel to rupture.

Go here to check. Mine is affected and they’re going to email me a return label.

yeah, checking to see if this is legit? I got mine for an upcoming trip and I'm not super excited about this prospect. haven't fired it yet, but from the website mine is affected. is this a "need to do it" recall or more of a put it off like forever recall?

This could potentially cause the barrel to rupture when a cartridge is fired and could result in serious personal injury.
I'll let you do the math on that one...

I gotcha, but my concern is well if I'm dumb and double charge it this shit will happen kind of thing or will blow up with just normal low pressure factory ammo. I don't have time to get it fixed before my trip, nor do I have desire to have a gun go off. was hoping to shoot like a mag worth friday and if it works, carry it. only need to shoot it in an emergency. but I don't have a ton of confidence in it right now.

If a manufacturer is willing to go through the expense and bad press to do a recall, it probably isn't a problem that only shows up in extremely negligent circumstances.

Thanks for posting.  Mine is not at risk of rupturing.

I’m curious what the turn time is going to be on this. I checked my serial number, it said mine was affected, and then had me complete a form. I opted for them to email me a FedEx return label. I did it on Wednesday and haven’t received an email yet.

I would say you need to

1>check your spam email folder if not found
2>contact KT and let them know you did not get a label.

Record turn around time from Kel-Tec.

I sent mine via the Fed Ex prepaid label on 4/10/18, arrived in FL on 4/12.  I received it back today, 4/20.

Kel-Tec included a 10 round factory G19 magazine for the trouble.  Thanks for great service, Kel-Tec.

I haven't been around to getting a sub2k yet, but it is on the list. Their Customer service department is awesome though. I lost a piece of my P3AT (ejector... AKWARD!!!) and they promptly sent me anew one for free(it is a really cheap piece but totally unique to their gun).

Just an update on turn times.  My rifle was received by Kel-Tec on May 1st.  The repair was completed and shipped on June 8th, it will be delivered on June 13th. Their automated phone system stated that repairs under the recall were taking between 4-6 weeks.

I got mine back recently, and noticed the new barrel has a "P" stamped on the underside of it.

Proof tested?

Likely the same barrel you sent it in with.

Kel-Tec is now saying the Nickel Boron barrels were not affected by the recall.

Mine was either blued or nitride, not Nickel Boron.

Been over 6 weeks and still waiting, is this typical turnaround time?

I waited about 6 weeks for mine. It looks and shoots exactly as before.

Went to print my shipping label today, it had expired.  Had to email them.
