According to a post on Pioneer Japan's website, drives manufactured before March 2007 are affected by the problem. Those that purchased their drives in Japan, can get theirs repaired by calling Pioneer's contact center.
Unfortunately, this problem also affects a number of Pioneer's OEM customers. Buffalo and Logitec have already provided information on how their customers can get their drives repaired.
Pioneer Electronics (USA) has yet to make a statement about this problem. However, from the reports I've read, their tech support is more than willing to replace a drive experiencing this problem.
