    Reason

    Field complaints indicate that recent shipments of the 14-400795 and 36505 drivers do not properly mate ("lock") into some of the specified screw heads. Drivers near MMC (Maximum Material Condition) or that are misshapen may not properly mate with screws at MMC. Design dimensions and tolerances of the drivers are not properly specified to prevent an incorrect fit between the drivers and the screw
