it will probably end up with a massive lawsuit anyways:

by reddit (google translate):
" If you recently have a road bike with DT Swiss carbon wheels (e.g. ARC, ERC, CRC or HEC), you may be affected by the current recall. According to DT Swiss, the wheels may no longer be driven, as material damage may occur.
Example: I bought my bike 19 days ago at Canyon ā so not directly at DT Swiss.
What applies legally?
Even if the recall comes from the manufacturer, your dealer (e.g. B. Canyon) your contractual partner under German law.
The defect makes the bike unusable - this is legally a material defect (§ 434 BGB).
The dealer is obliged to remedy the defect - e.g. by new or tested impellers (§ 439 BGB).
You have to give him a reasonable deadline for this.
What does āreasonable period of timeā mean?
According to case law, a period of 14 days is considered customary and reasonable, especially if the product is not usable at all.
If the dealer does not deliver or repair within this period, you can withdraw from the purchase contract and reclaim the full purchase price (§ 323 BGB).
Sample text for the dealer
āMy bike is affected by the DT Swiss recall and cannot be used. I set a deadline for you until [date] to allow me to use it without defects. Otherwise, I assert my right of withdrawal (§ 323 BGB).ā
Important:
DT Swiss takes care of return shipping & testing, but this can take weeks.
You donāt have to accept this, especially if the bike is almost new.
Donāt let long processing times stop you if your dealer doesnāt offer a solution.
