I  ran across this story this morning and I don't know if it affects anyone in the US but I know we have users from Europe on here so I figured I would forward the information.

Not sure how the model numbers compare but I know they recalled the 1380 slim grinder here. Mine is still being repaired.

What happened to it?

Or rather, what was the potential failure?

Damn, too bad it's not a recall of the Bosch Slim. I punished that grinder for a decade and it finally shat the bed. I'm sure it could have been repaired, but for how inexpensive they are, not worth it. I cannot believe Bosch discontinued the Slim model. WTF?? A grinder with a thin enough housing to make it super comfortable to use and they shelve it. Just stupid.
