MS 660 Back to the factory, chain brake handle getting hot!

I was using my saw the other day ringing up a horse chestnut (36"Bar) Chain brake worked fine whilst saw still reasonably cold but once hot the plastic became quite pliable. Sent saw back to dealer and It's been recalled for further tests.

 

It's the first case my dealer's heard of.

 

Has anyone else had this problem?

 

Saw was bought In Dec 2011

I have heard it mentioned on here but can't remember who or what thread. So not an isolated problem. From what I recall the exaust port directs the hot gas in the direction of the chainbrake lever causing it to become soft?? I don't actually own one though so haven't experienced the problem first hand.
