Nikon released a third recall notice for the popular D750 today, stating that additional manufacturing dates are affected by problems with the shutter mechanism. In January of 2015 and July of the same year, Nikon issued a recall for cameras manufactured between October and November of 2014. Now, Nikon has recognized that units produced between December 2014 and June of 2015 were also affected, adding up to a nine month span of shoddy craftsmanship.
Details and affected models can be checked by serial number at the official Nikon website.
Nikon has had more than it’s fair share of product recalls (or “Service Advisories”) over the past few years. In addition to the three notices for the Nikon D750, the Nikon D810 had problems with bright pixels, and the Nikon D600 had problems with oily spots and grime from the shutter system transferring to the sensor.
It is worth noting that all three of the previously mentioned cameras are or were manufactured in Thailand rather than Japan (like the D800/D800e), though it is unclear whether this is a reflection on quality control at the facilities there or simply of the fact that more Nikon cameras are made there. However, Japan opened a new facility in Laos in 2013 to begin manufacture of mid-range SLRs due to political instability and rising worker costs in Thailand.
