Very sad to see the failures that Sig has been pushing as of late...

I was looking for a Pistol Caliber Carbine and the Sig MCX was on my short list. I'm glad I passed on it.

MPX - P for pistol caliber
MCX - C for carbine calibers
You can have a 'pistol' version, stock/no stock, of either to make it doubly confusing.
MPX not involved in this one. Checked our books today and contacted all whose MCX serial numbers fit. Shorter list than I feared.
Santa almost bought himself an MPX SBR in K configuration, 4" barrel, but resisted.

The MPX is not part of this recall. Took mine out today and ran a few magazines through, just to be sure

Thanks for the correction on the Sig model difference. I clearly had not picked up on the difference and I should have given how much time I had spent reading reviews. I'm glad the MPX was not involved in the recall.
It looks like part of the recall is to pin the spring-plate in place, which would address the failure encountered by nutnfancy in this video. Start the video at 2:10 to jump to the failure:
