[RE-wrenches] Xantrex/Schneider recall

[Antony Tersol]

Waiting for the kits - reimbursement promised.

A few years back, we inherited a client with 2 Xantrex Sunties.  These
got replaced under warranty with the newer ones (that are now subject
to recall).  Had further problems and replacements.  Then had an
incident where the cover looked like it had been torn off - client
thought it was some weird type of vandalism, but after getting the
recall notice, and reviewing the incident, we theorized that it had
been a victim of the bad components and had blown off.  We think one
of the earlier problems had also been caused similarly - there had
been a loud bang and smoking with one of the earlier failures.

Is anyone getting reimbursed from Schneider for the replacement cost for the
recalled GT series disaster line?



We have yet to get response from them when we pose this question.



And has anyone seen one of these buggers smoke or blow off the cover?



Thanks,

marco
