I'm not really worried about this recall, as there are only a few limited times in which this glitch can occur. In the meantime, I'll just be more careful riding my Segway in these circumstances until I can get the software upgrade.
I would be a lot more concerned if the glitch was totally random and could happen anytime, such as the Dell Laptop batteries spontaneously becoming incendiary firebombs.
