No recalls. And by the time the deadline came to stop manufacturing the Mod
One, the Mod 3 (and the CoCo) had been available for over a year and had the
mandated shielding. The deadline was the end of 1981 -- I'm not sure when
the last Mod One came off the line, but it was in plenty of time.
And in fact, the requirement only applied to residential installations at
first -- a computer in an office or other business could make as much noise
as it wanted.
