ATTENTION IMPORTANT SUB-2000 SAFETY RECALL NOTICE
https://recalls.keltecweapons.com/

We have recently identified an issue with the heat treatment of certain steel tubes received from a third‐party supplier from which the barrels for a limited number of Kel‐Tec SUB‐2000 rifles were manufactured. This could potentially cause the barrel to rupture when a cartridge is fired and could result in serious personal injury. The safety of our customers is our primary concern, so Kel‐Tec has voluntarily initiated this recall because of the possibility of a barrel rupturing.

This recall only affects a portion of SUB‐2000s that were manufactured in 2017.

All costs associated with the recall of your firearm shall be covered by Kel‐Tec.

To check if your firearm would need to be sent in for barrel replacement enter your serial number into the provided field below. Refer to the image at the bottom of this page to help locate your serial number. In addition, if you would like to view a list of all affected serial numbers

I saw this coming- back in the summer a guy on the KT forums had a barrel blow apart close to the receiver. Of course everyone said it was a bad reload or a squib, but the guy was adamant that it wasn’t, and when he contacted KT about it they wanted the gun ASAP. Then other accounts of exploding barrels started showing up online.

I wonder who makes their blanks?

Just checked mine, it's not under the recall. Looks like the all the effected gun's S/Ns start with F. F means 2017 maybe?
Wonder if this recall effects both the 9mm and .40 versions or just one or the other.?
