Xantrex recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Xantrex technology has decided that certain freedom sw 3000 electric inverters/charges sold as aftermarket equipment and also installed as original equipment in some recreational vehicles contain a safety defect. Due to poor soldering in close proximity to inadequately torqued bus bars in the product, melted solder can result in a short circuit failure.
What could happen
A short circuit can result in the unit overheating, possibly resulting in a fire.
The fix
Xantrex will notify the owners of the aftermarket equipment and will repair or replace the units free of charge. The safety recall began on july 30, 2010. Owners may contact xantrex at 1-800-670-0707.
