Why these products were recalled

During the rework process for the April 17, 2017, field action, it was detected that the set screw and sleeve assembly which are designed to have an interference fit, were no longer in the installed location. This could prevent the product assembly with the mating screw and targeting jig.

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.
