Chronology :

In December 2021 during a routine code audit, it was discovered that a safety related defect and a standards non-conformance may exist. Certain metallic electrical boxes may not be grounded as required by NFPA 70 Article 551.55(C)(2). The metallic box is being used as a substitute for a non-metallic box due to a component supplier shortage. Grounding requirements are not applicable on a non-metallic box. All units affected on premises were placed on hold and repaired with the recall remedy.

In December 2021 this incident was discussed at WIRC and elevated to CPAC.

On January 5, 2022 this incident was discussed at CPAC and elevated to SSC.

One January 27, 2022 SSC discussed this incident and voted to proceed with a recall.
