Nikon Issues Free Repair Program for Z6 III, Z5 II & ZR Defects

If you're shooting Nikon Z6 III, Z5 II, or ZR, stop and check your serial number today — a confirmed manufacturing defect can kill these cameras outright, and specific production batches are affected. Nikon is doing the right thing here: free repairs, free shipping, no warranty expiration excuses. This isn't the brand's first rodeo with batch-specific advisories (the Z8 had its own issues previously), but the potential for total inoperability makes this one worth treating urgently rather than filing away for later.
