Does anyone know what is the expected dollar impact of the TDS200/210 DSO recall to TEK's bottom line, and how that is expected to be spread across quarters?

I recall TEK saying they expected 60,000 units to be part of the recall. So here is how I figure the expected case to be, based on my experience sending my TDS200 to them:

per unit (conservative):
$30 shipping and handling (2nd day UPS round trip on 2-3lbs)
$20 repair time (I'm guessing the time to open, and swap out a board)

60,000 units: $3,000,000

Of course this would not be realized all at once. But, I would expect this to be a significant negative earnings.

Any one have a better idea of what to expect?
