I started this awkward voyage today.
Cumbersome process that requires downloading a third party app, turning on your camera, location, etc. permissions, sending a photo.
Huge PITA, and no information about how to handle multiple brushes (I have 2 at home, and a third at a remote location).
I took a single photo of my 2 local brushes and submitted it.
Recall telephone rep. now tells me that each brush requires a seperate photo of a single brush and a complete stand-alone submission!
Someone didn't think through the privacy issues or multiple brush scenarios very well.
Maybe I'll just drive by HQ and leave my old brushes by their front door.....
yikes, this seems like cluster
I've been using this one for several years, 5 at least. No problems. The problem is with copying the best always ends up cheaper. Weber's twisted wire brushes are not the problem it's the cheapo copys. I'm not tossing mine it's still in good shape and I'm using it. No doubt some dumb ass will smoke the nylon brush and floss with that...then what.
Good Day.

Tomorrow I'm going to Ace and buying more or digging them out the dumpster later.
GOOD DAY!
I heard the following from the recall folks today. Time will tell whether I receive just one brush (I took a single photo of two brushes together and wrote that a third is stored remotely):
"Thank you for submitting your photo for the Weber Wire Grill Brush Recall.
We have reviewed your photo and your recall registration is approved. Your replacement is in process and should be shipped within 2 weeks.
You may now proceed with disposing of your recalled grill brush.
If you feel you have received this notice in error or if you have questions, please feel free to call us at 877-597-9588, Monday through Friday, 8:00am – 5:00pm Eastern Standard Time to discuss. Please have your unique Confirmation Number available when you call.
Your Confirmation Number: XXXXXXXX
Thank you for participating in the Weber Wire Grill Brush Recall."
Every store I went to has already removed the twisted metal wire brushes and wouldn't let me dive the dumpster to get'm.
If anyone wants to ship your new or mildly used twisted metal brush to me instead of trashing it message me here and I'll send my address. Hopefully Weber realizes the mistake and resumes selling them soon. Fortunately I have a few I've acquired over the years picking up stray grills and buying desirable ones.
I have 3 of them and have never had any problems. I guess it would only take one time, but I've been hearing about type of issue with this type of brush for at least 15 years and, again, have never had a problem or know anyone that has had a problem.
My 3 were bought on Amazon and that's where I got the notification. If they (Weber) really wanted to make its customer base safe and whole, they would allow me send these back through Amazon.
Considering one of these.....

I played their game. Submitted pictures twice. Finally received email stating the replacement was on the way. This was early March.
I'm still waiting.
I am also still waiting.

I've see that on TV. I will be interested in your review of the product.
In the mean time, I'm still using the ones that I have. So far, so good . . .
I noticed my local HD is still stocking them. I told them they were recalled. Went back a week later and they are still there.
And, the snafu continues:

My recall brush showed up yesterday via FedEx.
Only one.....although I was very clear I had 3 brushes subject to the recall.
It is an 18" Weber Cold Cleaning brush. PN 3400714
It has red plastic bristles and is to be "Use(d) only on fully cool grates and grill surfaces".
Fairly disappointing, and a poor substitute for the recalled item.

That's brutal.
I will continue using my original Weber cleaning brush.
Never had any issues.
Thanks for the update.

Still waiting on mine. They mentioned it was going to be a cold cleaning brush in the recall so I knew what was coming. I wonder how many are going to use it on a hot grill.
Submitted March 21, 2026, Received my cold brush on July 3, 2026.

It happens..... (https://www.facebook.com/share/v/198whVRNtX/)
I bought this.... Plastic brushes don't do much for me. Have not used it yet, but it looks pretty good. We'll see.

Funny, you can still buy em off Weber over here on Amazon. I have one but don't really use it.

I tried the onion method for the first time tonight on my cast iron once hot which was pretty rusty and dirty, worked a treat. For cold cleaning I stick some marigolds on and use one of these. Gets everything off
