Update: Looks like this might not be a full recall after all. We can't access Sony's support site right now, but the BBC reports that UK owners of the following models can summon an engineer to inspect their set if they're worried: KDL-40D3400, KDL-40D3500, KDL-40D3550, KDL-40D3660, KDL-40V3000, KDL-40W3000, KDL-40X3000, KDL-40X3500.
the recall is limited to some 40" built in 2007-08. although info now is sketchy, here's a good source: http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/12/sony-to-recall-1-6-million-bravia-tvs-due-to-melting-components/
