Many owners of these bikes have not been able to ride their expensive bikes for over a year now and are still not able to get the recall completed.

I have seen first hand exmaples, picture examples of failures and picture examples of the welds on the affected BBC frames. The tubes at the weld joints were mill cut. The tube ends were not chamfered to allow proper weld penetration and eliminate thin wall sections at certain spots of the tube cuts.
