Reason the product is recalled

The handles on the TSB unit may open under vibration whilst driving.

The hazards to consumers

If the handles open whilst driving, tools and equipment stored in the unit may fall onto the road, potentially causing damage to the tools/equipment and injury to other road users.

What consumers should do

Until replacement handles are available, APMI advise affected customers to use a physical restraint and duct tape over the handles and body of the TSB unit to prevent any possibility of the handles opening.
