Why it was recalled

Over time, low-frequency vibrations can cause the pins within the female connectors on the Motor Controller to Data Acquisition Board ribbon cable to become partially displaced causing momentary high resistance that prevents or restricts data travelling through the cable during the high resistance event.

Class I is the FDA’s most serious recall level: there is a reasonable probability that using this product will cause serious harm or death.
