Reason the product is recalled

The hazards to consumers
If the defect occurs, the wiring may overheat and lead to an engine-bay fire.

Consumers should immediately contact the supplier by phoning 08 9221 2345 between 8.30am and 4.30pm (AWST) Monday - Friday for further instructions. Arrangements will need to be made for the vehicle to attend a local service centre to have a technician install the missing fuse in the unit.
