Effective yesterday (May 19th), one day after issuance,
Canada Post recalled all (OFDC) $5.95 First Day of Issue Cover sets of 5, all single $1.85 OFDC's of Gilles Villeneuve and all $99.95 Gilles Villeneuve framed prints.
The recall has something to do with the printed information in English and/or French on the reverse of only the Gilles Villeneuve OFDC.
The framed print has a copy of the OFDC in it.
The following have been recalled:Post Card set
Individual Post cards
Gilles Villeneuve Individual Post Card
Gilles Villeneuve Framed Print Issued: 500 Framed Prints
The following are not affected by the recall:The $4.25 5 stamp special panes, the $8.50 10 stamp booklets, the single OFDCs of Stewart, Senna, Thompson and Schumacher, and the framed prints of Stewart, Senna, Thompson and Schumacher are not affected by the recall.

The Booklet
The remaining Framed PrintsSir Jackie Stewart Issued: 500 Signed Framed Prints

Senna
Lewis Hamilton Issued: 500 Framed Prints
Michael Schumacher Issued: 250 Framed Prints
At a future date, the OFDC set, single OFDC and the framed print will be available for sale with the corrected OFDC version.
And, of course, I was unable to find a Post Office or Shoppers Drug Mart sub-post office, that had any of the recalled items.
I had also canceled my
Canada Post standing orders a year ago, so I could support my local Post Office with it's minimum required Saturday sales by purchasing all of the new issues.
