July recall warned that certain aftermarket and OE DT Swiss wheelsets could delaminate in the flange area. In the update shared via email, DT Swiss acknowledged that "not everything went smoothly, and some customers reacted with considerable annoyance at not being able to use their bikes for a certain period of time," clarifying that some of the cases had had issues with transport. Overall, the company said feedback on the recall communication and case handling has been positive. It added that the current testing turnaround is "a few days," excluding shipping. Riders can check affected models and begin returns via DT Swiss's recall page.
