I bought the CDA 9851 Saturday in Berkeley CA. I have been talking with a shop in Palo Alto CA that said they were back ordered on that unit for weeks that Alpine is not shipping anything right now. Well today I told the guy in PA that I got it in Berkeley and he mentioned to me that the CDA models 9855, 9853, 9851 released in January were all recalled in Febuary for some unexplained reason. He also said that he believes the problem, whatever it is has been fixed and if I got a unit that was shipped after feb I should be fine. Well I DON'T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ANYTHING, but that story along with what I am reading about a lot of problems with the face plate on the 9855 has me a bit worried. Maybe I will look at returning the 9851 and exchange it for say the 9831 or 33 ???

Has anyone heard this??

 

I have not heard of any of this and we have not had to ship anything back for a recall. Ill look into it a little bit tommorrow at work.

 

Thanks ill look forward to what u find out
