Nikon has uncovered a manufacturing error with three of its current model mirrorless cameras, issuing an apology and free repairs for affected creators. On March 17, Nikon issued a service advisory for certain Z6 III, Z5 II, and ZR cameras that “were manufactured using parts that do not meet our quality standards.”
Not all models of the three cameras are affected, but owners of the cameras should check their cameras' serial numbers against the list of affected cameras. The service advisory was issued for several regions, including the US, Europe, and Australia. Canada did not receive any of the affected models for the Z6 III and Z5 II; the service advisory in Canada is only for the ZR. Similarly, the service advisory in Singapore is only for the Z5 II, as no affected Z6 III or ZR were sold in the region.
