In the past few years companies (not only Nikon) have been avoiding the word “recall” and have been using words like “service advisory“, “service notice“, etc to describe issues that need to be addressed. Maybe I do not understand the difference and will continue to call this a recall – feel free to correct me in the comments section.

The Nikkor Z 40mm f/2 SE lens has been available for pre-order in Europe and the US since early November:
According to Nikon Japan, the 40mm f/2 SE lens will start shipping on January 20, 2023.
Back in 2020, the patent troll Digimedia Tech sued Nikon (and many other companies) for patent infringement on the following patents:
The impacted cameras were the Nikon Coolpix A1000 and Nikon Coolpix P900.
