I don't think so, unless you know of a different issue? The kit fixes a potential trapped ball at the end of the wireform by replacing a nut with a post. If you want to go all out you can buy a new wireform for $89, but the post fixes the issue perfectly well.

I agree with TxJay. Why would they want to publicise a minor issue in such a way that makes it seem like it's a big issue?

Product recalls (for cars or any other appliance) occur when there is a serious health or safety risk. If that was the case THEN I'd expect JJP to be proactively contacting customers, but ... we're just talking about a potential for stuck balls here right?

Ah, in fairness, probably not. The Hobbit that I've played on had an infrequent issue on the end of that wireform where it could get stuck on the left (which the post now acts as a fix for). The issue ArcadeUK is describing I don't think I've seen before, but knowing Luke he's probably got it set up insanely steep An entirely new wireform may help in that case.
