What did the leaked DHS memo concerning the SIG P320 state?

A leaked DHS memo reportedly directed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to cease carrying all models of the SIG P320 pistol. The memo also outlined plans to procure replacement duty handguns, specifically mentioning the Glock 19 MOS pistol and related equipment.

What did the FBI report find about the SIG P320's safety?
