Default i167 UNITS - NEW RECALL?

Has anyone heard of a possible NEW RECALL on i167's - even ones that have had the so-called SAFETY SOFTWARE UPDATE. I recently had my T-HANDLE kick back and hit my chest so hard it almost knock the wind out of me. This was during a diminished power low battery condition. I first felt the unit go about 15 degrees forward past normal but caught it in time to prevent a fall - then the oddest occurence happened the Steering columb snapped back and hit me. Is their a possibilty of anothe recall. I had seen a few other complaints by people with similar concerns about problems. This is not an experience issue as I have logged several hundred hours on Segways and this happen on very smooth pavement so it was not a bump from an ubstruction. If I had to describe it it was more a delayed balance return as if the GYRO's and balance sensor were attempting to "CATCH UP" - I can't find addiontal recall information on the CPSC Website but indictions are a second recall might be coming.
