Not really, this isn’t “recall” as in, send all your boards back and we’ll fix them or give you your money back, this is “recall” as in, “stop using your board until you install the new firmware update”.
…atleast for all their boards sold in the last ~4 years. For anyone with the original two models they’re saying “recall” as in “destroy them, prove it to us, and we’ll give you $100 in store credit” … which is a shit move from a shit company but also certainly won’t bankrupt them unless they face some kind of class action lawsuit which is unlikely given the low numbers those boards sold in.
Me too, but in the meantime check out Floatwheels / VESCs. The open source community is already selling all the parts you need to build a non Future Motion board.

I can’t wait for their patent to expire. 1000+ dollars for what is essentially a hub motor and some microcontrollers is nuts.
