How to Make a Claim on the Smith & Wesson 380 EZ Recall

Smith & Wesson is a company that has been around for over 150 years. They have made guns, ammunition, and knives. The company is currently in the process of their Smith& Wesson 380 EZ recall. This is due to reports that say there is an issue with the gun where it could release multiple discharges without depressing the trigger. This can be dangerous because many people carry these guns around thinking they are comfortable, easy to use, and reliable.

The recall process can be a bit frustrating because it's not an automatic recall. You have to ship your firearm to them and forget about it for ten business days. However, there's a way you can go around this recall in a faster and more convenient way. This blog post will explore Smith & Wesson's 380 EZ recall in detail so you can get back to being confident in your purchase decision.

How Do I Make a Claim for the Smith & Wesson 380 EZ Recall?

Smith & Wesson is offering to inspect and replace the hammer of any firearm that has this defect at no charge. This means you do not have to pay anything. Just send your M&P Shield EZ Pistol back in exchange for one with fixed triggers. The company will be happy to ship the firearm at no charge to you.

However, this process can be frustrating and lengthy, especially if you reside outside the United States. This is because you'll need to track a Smith & Wesson warranty center near you to inspect and replace the defective hammer in your firearm. But don't worry, we have an effective solution at the end of this article.

What Happened with the Smith & Wesson 380 EZ Recall?

Recently, there was a recall on M&P Shield pistols due to safety concerns. The company identified two M &P Shield EZ pistols on which the hammers manufactured by a third-party supplier were cracked. In those firearms, the hammer failed to fully engage the sear, causing the round to fire, cycling the slide, and potentially resulting in multiple discharges without depressing the trigger.

Who Is Eligible for the Smith & Wesson 380 EZ Recall?

Smith & Wesson has identified that all M&P Shield EZ pistols on which the hammers manufactured by their supplier were cracked. The recall applies only to M &P Shield EZ pistols manufactured between March 1, 2020, and October 31, 2020.

Note: It does not apply to all shield pistols.

To know whether your M&P Shield EZ pistol is eligible for the recall, check the label on the box to see the date of manufacture. If the manufacture date is anywhere between March 1, 2020, and October 31, 2020, your pistol needs to be returned for inspection and probably for replacement of the defective hammer.

In any case, you are unsure of your date of manufacture, you may either:

1. Call 888-871-7114
2. Visit MPShieldEZrecall.com

In both cases, you will have to provide your serial number.
