Code Information |
All systems with a rover top cap assembly 711-27-001 manufactured from 1/1/01 to 12/31/01. The recalled caps can be visually distinguished because there is a flat lip where the lid connects to the unit, and the flat lip is covered by a metal retaining ring which holds the cap in place. Non-recalled units do not have a metal retaining ring, rather the caps are held in place by screws with ribs in the cap on either side of each screw. |
