3 bolts vs 5 or 6 bolts...... I ran the AEM "Tru-Slips" for years and never had an issue, but they are a huge liability IMO due to them slipping on other peoples cars.

same here, i have installed many sets, no issues, had a set myself(stockers now) no issues.
kinda depends on the cam/valve spring combo also.

I have a set on now. I locktited the bolts because of this problem. I didnt know there was an actual recall on them though. Can I still send them back for new gears ? Im guessing its way too late.

Re: (twkdCD595)
im running some right now, no problems,
they come with wierd allen key bolts, these are junk and cant be torqued down very well,
i replaced all 3 with actual bolts of the same size, so i could tighten em down like a bitch,
and its working good for me so far.
