Ruger Issues Safety Bulletin For Ruger Precision Rifle

The underlined makes me think this should be a recall and not just a safety bulletin.
Ruger tells us that they have recently learned that some Ruger Precision Rifles can experience interference between the back of the firing pin (known as the cocking piece) and the aluminum bolt shroud. It is reported that when that interference occurs in rare cases it can interfere with the normal operation of the firing pin. If the cocking piece and the bolt shroud interfere, the rifle could experience light strikes to the primer or in even more extreme cases, not firing when the trigger is pulled, then discharging when the bolt handle is touched.
Rifles that have more than 100 rounds fired are more likely to not experience this condition and Ruger is putting a program in place to offer owners of these rifles a replacement bolt shroud at no cost. We have posted the press release below:

There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.

It's not a bug, it's an undocumented feature
