Subject: [Leica] M9 sensor cover glass cracking

For anyone interested, this statement has been released by Leica Camera to
inform customers.

.................................................................
Dear M9 Users,

Please let me update you on the broken cover glass situation. We at Leica
are aware of the issue and the current reported isolated instances are a
very low proportion of the cameras delivered.
Our colleagues both in R&D and QA are investigating and have not yet
determined a root cause, nor it was possible to provoke a sensor to crack in
our labs (temperature shock, heat, cold, humidity, mechanical bending etc.).

Cameras found to have this fault are having the sensor assembly replaced as
a priority (free of charge of course) and our Customer Service will complete
the repair in the shortest delays possible.

With my best regards,

Stefan Daniel, Leica Camera AG
