Reason for recall
While reviewing documentation for the next software release of the 2008T, an R&D technician identified that setting the UF goal to '0' introduces a discrepancy between the UF rate displayed and the actual UF pump rate. The software anomaly is also applicable to the 2008T Machines that contained the 2.63 Bug Fix per DCAF 17-088. 2008T Upgrade kits that contained the 2.63 Bug Fix are also affected. Additionally, SW version 2.64 (in design freeze) is also impacted by this anomaly.
Device recalls are issued when a component, software or design fault could cause the device to fail or give wrong readings. Many are corrections applied in the field rather than physical returns.
