Why these products were recalled

The pump drive motors may experience a malfunction which would result in a pump error message alarm notifying you that insulin is no longer being delivered. Possible cause is either lack of greasing or deficient greasing in a ball bearing assembly of the motor.

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
