I ordered a Mezzer in late December and it seems that they have resolved the issue with early production Mezzer lowers and bushing play. As I understand it, they pulled unsold stock and replaced the lowers and then redistributed the repaired forks. Mine came in a box that had been obviously opened and resealed with Manitou logo tape, and had an earlier production date on the box than I would have expected for a fork that took a few weeks to ship in January. And I believe they have shipped warranty lowers to anyone that needed them. My Mezzer is great so far, it is tight and smooth and I am very happy with it, it is the best fork I have ridden.
