Looks like the recall is official
Takara Tomy put out a statement for it

Citing the issues as “switched voice lines” and “inconsistencies on the product packaging”
You can return the product to them for a full refund. But no replacements will be made.

I also received an email from HLJ regarding the God Fire Convoy recall. Is it acceptable to copy the contents of the email on here?
