1UP reports that Nintendo is replacing some 3.2 million straps on the Wii remote control, which were supposedly too weak to endure the stresses that your average gamer will put on it. Wii remotes, apparently, were flying left and right, into TVs, lamps, and people.
Although Nintendo of Japan states only that the gamers were using, "Wii sports software" (you're not allowed to call them games anymore), I suspect that Wii Bowling was the chief cause of all of this. It would be all too easy to get carried away when knocking over pins and start knocking over other people.
Note, however, that this is not a recall per se: Nintendo is only offering to replace the Wii straps. You have the option of keeping your old straps if you need a quick projectile or two.
If you're interested in getting that bit of nylon replaced, then go to Nintendo's website and fill out the necessary information. All you need is a Wii serial number.
