OK, thanks for the update. I bought a K100 from SRS and what I posted was what they told me at the time. They were implementing their own warranty. They were MUCH cheaper than the official sellers back then.
I have no issue with grey imports anyway; most consumer IT gear on Amazon is grey imports.

This was Park Cameras. They are a good firm - I have used them since the 1980s. All stock gone back.
I am not sure if this is current info, but SRS is not a factory supported dealer, so they have to self-warranty the products they sell. They don't have Pentax backup. So they are not going to invite you to return your stuff unless it has actually packed up. They offer lower prices by bypassing the sole agency distribution system i.e. they are a "grey importer". They are a reputable firm (I have used them for various gear and they were always really good) but as I say there may be cases where a warranty situation may not be handled as if the item came via the official Pentax pipeline.

I have just phoned up my usual photo supplier and they say all have been recalled.
I didn't ask for details; best to leave this for a few weeks at least.
Not unusual for Pentax! But they will undoubtedly use this opportunity to quietly fix other stuff and that's a good thing.
