Never had a product recall.
Sure we had way more QC issues with the early batches of Wombolts and even Twombolts than I would have liked but there was nothing inherently flawed in the design which is backed up by the fact that we still make cranks using this design and they do have a very good reputation for strength now.
On the other hand, putting big sharp cornered slits down an axle loaded in combined bending and torsion was to my mind pretty obviously about as terrible a design as you could imagine... it's not like a few of these "might" break eventually, it was inevitable that they all would if actually ridden.

I miss when that site was actually updated on a regular basis.

Not as product designer. He works with the team in "Product development" and "Team manager".

I think I know a guy who works as a product developer for them. Not sure how long he has been at it or if he is the only one they have.
Update; yes it seems like it was him. Taken from his fb:
