Reasons the product is recalled
A batch of spring clips, used in certain Dynamic Controls Shark power modules that are installed in Pride’s J623 power wheel chairs, may be susceptible to breakage due to a variation in heat treatment and plating process used by a supplier during manufacture.
The hazards to consumers
The broken spring clips may potentially present two risks of harm to users:
1. Metal spring clip fragments may land on electronics and cause a short circuit of control circuitry, resulting in unintended wheelchair movement.
2. Metal spring clip fragments may land on electronics and results in short circuit of power conductors, resulting in Shark power modules overheating due to continued flow of current from the fitted battery.
