If anyone missed this recall:

Anyone have the models named? I'm going to check mine now.

I have the 4 rivets (BINGO but my model was not included - WHEW!

Wino,

Mine is included. Now I have to decide if I want to send it in or not; it's not like I use it much.

Oh, looks like you just need to fill out some online forms and they just send you a new blade. Nice!

Wino, from what I read, all the 4 rivet models are included. What model do you have? Mine was included, as was my daughter's. I already got an email from Cuisinart saying they are sending out a new blade.

I have a model included in the list, but bought before 1996, which I guess was when they started making the blades in China.

My model is the DLC-2014N and it was included in the recall, can't remember which year I got it but it would have been sometime in the early 2000s I think.
I can't help wonder how long it will take to get my new blade since there are 8 MILLION recalls!
Hard to imagine they'd have that many blades lying around.
I was actually quite surprised to not have to provide my model's serial number for verification, just so they could eliminate fraudulent requests.
I did have to send my FP back to Cuisinart one year for repair after I'd dropped it onto my tile floor and broke the spindle. I got the snottiest customer service person I've ever encountered. We had a little set-to on the phone and she made sure it took weeks for me to get my unit repaired (her accent was so thick I couldn't understand her and she didn't take it well).

Vitamix had a similar issue a few years ago. They didn't handle it well. I had to apply for a shipping box, ship my container back, get the blade replaced, wait to get it back, which took weeks and I'm convinced I got the wrong container back - mine was pristine. What came back was dingy, scratched, and gross. They sent me a new one when I complained. Hopefully Cuisinart does better.

Linda, I broke the spindle on my original Cuisinart and just called and they sent me a new one with a note to call back when I received it, so they could help me with the swap. It arrived very fast and I had no problems replacing it. When I burned the cord, they suggested I take it to a toaster repair shop locally which I did and had the cord replaced.

Mine is on the recall list too. Filled out the online form yesterday. What a bad time of year for a recall. I plan to continue using my blade until I receive the new one. Any of you plan to not use the faulty blade for now?

Some folks noticed their blade was cracked after the recall notice appeared. I've inspected mine at it looks new, so I'm using with the caveat of a thorough post use inspection each time. BTW, if you have an older Cuisinart, the old blade works on the new one.
