The Recall(link goes to thread) might have had something to do with the discontinuing of the Rebel lights.

Lightninghound.com still carries the Rebell in the p2d and the p3d. According to them, they will probably not get any more Rebels from Fenix since the Rebell LED is not available because of a high failure rate in some of their LED's. However, according to service reps at both Fenix-store, and Lightning Hound, they have not had any Fenix Rebell LED failures reported to them.

If you got it last summer, you got it before the recalled emitters were produced.

Yes, some subspec epoxy was used in the emitters' manufacture. Most of the recalled emitters, if they fail, will fail within 24 hours of use. That's kind of a lot for a flashlight.
