Canon Australia has posted a notice on its website issuing a recall for some early EOS R5C units about the autofocus issue. Looks like the rumors were true yesterday when it’s first surfaced on CCN and a very small EOS R5 C (Amazon/B&HPhoto/Adorama) cameras were recalled due to autofocus issues.
It is not yet known whether this impacts distributions in regions outside of Australia. We will update you as we receive news about this situation regarding the EOS R5 C.
You can find details on the subject in the Canon Australia announcement text.
