I lived on a street of 24 homes and I'd guess that at least 8 to 10 of those homes had the roof replaced. Before we sold our house this fall we had ours inspected and tested and they came through ok. But our next door neighbor's were defective and they were getting a new roof.

If your home was built around that time frame I'd contact the warranty dept or the company who did your roof and insist your shingles be tested. You have to take the initiative because they won't come knocking on your door to tell you there may be a problem. Good luck.
The problem I mentioned was blistering Owens Corning shingles. I never heard or saw anything about any another issue. I'd appreciate knowing what issue you were thinking of so I can see if I can find some information about it.
