Mike:

From what I gather on the 590 list, some ship their rigs back, while others 
replace the fuse themselves.

And, the fuse problem apparently was in earlier production runs.

Mine, for example, is one of those earlier ones, so I always have the fuse 
problem possibility in the back of my mind.

At the same time, though, I don't loose sleep over it, since if it happens, 
it happens.

At least the problem is well known and very easily fixed.
