Default Should i even bother?

i was browsing the net reading info on my amp. well i came across this...

http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml03/03108.html

i havent checked to see if my serial # matches or not yet (too lazy to move equipment at the moment). but i have had this thing for over 4 years and have never had a heat problem with it. i only notice the fans kicking on in it when i crank it up past 65 (it maxes out at 72), and most of the time i keep it around 35-45 for movies, 30 for DTS.
i keep it on the bottom of the rack, with nothing stacked on it, all vents free and clean.

so... should i even bother?

Only twelve melt downs out of 50,000? Don't bother unless it bothers you.

If you want you should run a little fan over it to try to keep it cooler...not sure if that would work if they can get that hot but worth a try...
