Reason

The firm sent an Update Instruction, "TH003/08/S" for Motion Enable Switch/holder assembly. The switch holder allows the motion enable switch to be activated if inserted partially; thereby enabling inadvertent motion and serious injury may result.

Action

On June 25, 2008 all consignees were notified via written letter and on-site visit by the firm's sales representative, informing them that the switch holder allows the motion enable switch to be activated if inserted partially; thereby enabling inadvertent motion and serious injury may result and providing instructions on the recall. A new software version will be provided. For assistance contact Siemens at 1-925-246-8407.
