Recalled Linear PERS transmitters (2013 models) may stop working without warning due to battery clip corrosion. Consumers must get free replacements.
The battery clips in the transmitters can corrode causing the transmitters to operate intermittently or not at all, without generating a warning.
Linear is recalling PERS transmitters made between June and July 2013 because battery clips can corrode, causing the device to stop working without warning. This could prevent emergency assistance if needed.
The battery clips in these transmitters can corrode over time, causing the device to stop working intermittently or completely without any warning. This means emergency help might not be summoned if the device fails.
