I read a translation of the message on Canon's site. It turns out that they think there may have been a reason for mirrors coming off 5D's that may indeed have been a fault in the build of said cameras and are in Japan offering a free repair should that happen to you.

There were a few bits about having a good meal as well, but translation is never the easiest.

Mirror mirror in the Canon
Send it back and shove some glue on
If after this it doesn't stick
sell your gear and buy a Nik

Quote: Not rumour but a fact - is stated on both Canon UK and USA websites. Owners asked to send in cameras to service centres from Monday the 9th Feb if I remember correctly.

Have you a link for the UK website as I didn't get any hits when I searched under "mirror" or "recall" . Ta!
