Actually, we're not even sure if it's technically a
recall, but Shimano did send out a registered letter to shops that
had purchased the new Lance-style SPD pedal (looks almost like a
superlight LOOK pedal) telling us to get ahold of any customer who
had purchased them and replace their original cleats with a newer
style.
Many pedals did ship out with the new-style cleat
(as seen on the left), so you may have no reason for concern.
But if your cleat looks identical to the one shown on the right, you
need to take them back to the shop you purchased the pedals from for
a new replacement cleat (which will look like the one on the left).
Fortunately, the differences are great enough that we don't think
you'll have any difficulty at all telling which ones you have, but,
of course, if there's any question, bring them into a shop.
You might also print out this page, so they have something to look
at themselves (since Shimano didn't send out very detailed graphics
showing the two cleats).
