Reason the product is recalled
The inverters have been supplied with an AC plug that does not comply with requirements of the relevant electrical safety standard.
The AC plug can be removed without the use of a tool and expose consumers to live terminals.
The hazards to consumers
There is a risk of serious injury or death from electric shock if consumers remove the AC plug and access the live terminals.
What consumers should do
Consumers must not attempt to remove the AC plug on the inverter.
Consumers should switch off the inverter at the:
- “INVERTER A.C. ISOLATOR” switch (if there is one installed adjacent to the inverter) and
- “MAIN SWITCH (INVERTER SUPPLY)” on the switchboard.
Contact the Goodwe Recall Team at support@goodwerecall.com.au or by phone on 1300 508 449 (8:00 am - 5:00 pm, Monday to Friday) to arrange for the permanent securement of the AC connector so it cannot be removed without a tool.
