Carl Walther GmbH has issued a recall of PK380 pistols produced from May through September 2012, serial numbers PK101201 through PK112155. Walther has found that engagement of the manual safety may not prevent firing of a chambered round when the trigger is pulled.
If you have a pistol covered by the recall, U.S. owners are advised to contact Waltheramerica at 1-800-713-0356. A pre-paid shipping label will be sent to you in 2-3 weeks for return of the pistol.
In the meantime, Walther recommends you safely unload the pistol and do not handle or attempt to fire it.

Well that’s not good. It’s not good publicity either when recalls are the only press releases your company manages to distribute widely.
Walther really needs a functioning marketing department. It’s a shame to say it’s even necessary, but they do.
This is my shocked face.
Hanging the Walther name on Umarex product is stinking up the place in Ulm.
