EXETER, NH — SIG SAUER, Inc. has initiated a mandatory safety upgrade pertaining to its new Model P238 pistols.
The company has determined that a small number of P238 pistols may have safety levers that are not manufactured to factory specifications. Under certain conditions, it may be possible for the lever not to be completely engaged in the safe position. In this condition, the gun will not fire when the trigger is pulled.
However, when the safety lever is moved to the off position, the hammer may fall, with the possibility that the gun could fire unintentionally.
At no cost to the owner, SIG SAUER will replace the safety lever and return the firearm, pre-paid, to the owner as quickly as possible.
To find out if your P238 is affected, contact the company at (866) 446-1914. An operator will take your information and confirm if your firearm is required to be returned for upgrading.
