Chronology :

This issue was discovered on November 21, 2021 when Product Compliance was alerted to a customer concern. An investigation was immediately launched where it was discovered the issue of leaking wastewater was already being evaluated by Product Development. Through the investigation it was confirmed that water leaking from the drainage system can reach the inverter. A total of eight field events were identified where the inverter had stopped functioning, though no thermal events had occurred. These events occurred between November 8, 2021 and December 3, 2021. Through discussion with Quality Control, a potential mold / mildew issue was also identified. It was determined the pump system allowed residual wastewater to remain in the collection box which provides an opportunity for the growth of mold / mildew. This was identified as an additional safety concern and added to the required remedy development. A meeting of the Product Safety committee was held on December 01, 2021 and the committee decided to issue a voluntary recall.
