What’s wrong with it?

IF THE SPRING CLIP BREAKS, IT COULD RESULT IN A LOOSE CONNECTION OF THE BREAKER TO THE STAB. OVER TIME, THIS CONDITION COULD LEAD TO EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURE, ARCING OR THERMAL DAMAGE AT THE CONNECTION POINT WHICH COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.

SIEMENS IS RECALLING CERTAIN MURRAY AND SIEMENS CIRCUIT BREAKERS MANUFACTURED IN JUNE 2010, DATE CODE “0610”, AND IN ADDITION, SOME CIRCUIT BREAKERS MANUFACTURED WITHIN THE SUBJECT PERIOD STAMPED WITH A DATE CODE FOR JULY 2010, “0710”.

THESE CIRCUIT BREAKERS WERE SOLD AND INSTALLED AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT FOR VARIOUS RV MANUFACTURERS.

THE SPRING CLIP WITHIN THE CIRCUIT BREAKER CAN BREAK.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Which ones, by part or lot: the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site gives them where the maker did; this file gives part numbers only where its maker listed them.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
