Only 152 cameras have been affected, but since DBP has been labeled as an endocrine disruptor and a compound that can cause birth defects, anyone in possession of a Nikon F6 purchased after July 22, 2019 should check their camera's serial number and contact Nikon if they find a match. I would guess that the servicing includes a total replacement of the body or its affected parts, but that is only speculation.

Nikon is offering free shipping and servicing for consumers affected by this recall.
Some components of the F6 camera body “potentially exceed the standard value specified in the European Union regulation, the RoHS Directive.” The amount of DBP detected was over the legislated limit set by EU law. Its recent recall was spurred by the potential presence of DBP, a toxic plastic compound, the use of which has been phased out due to health concerns. Nikon's F6 film camera, regarded by many as one of the best film cameras ever produced, is (you might be surprised) still in production today. And while Nikon is no stranger to recalls, a safety recall on one of their camera bodies might meet consumer reaction closer to the shock end of the spectrum.
Product recalls tend to produce something between concern and shock in consumers, especially when they come years after initial production.
