I finally broke down and opened the three 38mm CTI motors I ordered from Apogee on 7/1/2016. Having three closures to compare, it was OBVIOUS that one of them was not like the others. I wiped each of them down with a damp and soapy paper towel, only one was still slippery afterwards. The surface is also completely different. The best way I can describe it is that is looks like it is completely covered with fingerprints. That is what the photo in the press release is trying to show. The motor is a Green and dated September 2015, so again, the stamped date is MEANINGLESS in diagnosing this issue. Open it up and look at it. To me, it was easy to see.
