Although it's not officially called a "recall" but it seems that LV is taking action on bags from 2013-2015. There is apparently some fading canvas issues as well as all the glazing issues that are known for these years. As usual, customer service is all over the place on this and your store may not even be aware. There's a you tuber who called CS to ask about it and they told her yes to bring it to her store and the store basically laughed. However they called CS to speak to someone and found out she was right and gave her store credit. Your best bet is to take your bag for an assessment if it's from those years.
Also, alternatively can take a look at the date code to see if your bags from those years.
 
LV have given me store credit for my preloved 2013 Speedy Infini. I have to say that their CS was excellent.
I was really sad to leave it behind as I love the bag but the handles were a mess!
My Softlockit, luckily, is in Paris being repaired.
I also have a Speedy Aurore which at the moment seems fine. The date code shows May 2012. Do you think if it was an affected one I would see some signs of glazing softening by now? I had the receipt, preloved again, but I can not locate it. No idea why it’s not with the others.
Has anyone had glazing issues with early 2012 bags?

Also I have a few other capucines, Montaigne, Mahina and neverfulls from that period.
Capucines have been reported, also the Twist, not sure which type though. I have 4, but sure I bought them 2016 and later. I am worried about my Go-14 though. :sad:
tx vinbenphon1. Call came through yesterday. My capucines were all hit, Montaigne, etc. Crapola. I don’t have any Twists so can’t share if they were on the hit list too.

@TVluvsLV, May I ask: have you brought your CL limited edition to the LV store to check? I have one that I bought on LV.com but I only carried twice. I didn’t get the call. I am in the US. Thank you.
@redkitty, here is my bag. Stil in brand new condition. You have the same bag?

Yes mine is the same. Got a call on it but they said they will repair for me as I can’t bear to let it go. CL and LV probably never collab again so this is truly one of my fav limiteds
 
Your best bet would be to contact your SA directly, or take your bags (or a list of your bags) to your local store. They should be able to help you. I had a doubt about one of my bags and simply reached out to my SA who got back to me within a couple of days.
Tx fabuleux. I got called twice in two days. Once by CS and another by my SA.

There is no such thing as a “recall”.. not sure where you are getting this information. There are rumors that it will be discontinued.
Apparently they do recall bags. I was at the South Coast store today and my friend asked to see a particular bag, which we were told was "recalled." That's the exact wording the SA used.
