Manufacturer Narrative
|
Evaluation of the transducer confirmed the articulation issue as described by the customer.Functional testing of the device noted failure of the image, black box, and articulation tests.Visual inspection noted a hole in the tip shell and inferior beading.Destructive testing identified an insufficient solder joint allowed the steering cable to be separated from the rack actuator which resulted in the loss of articulation.The failed transducer was replaced by the philips service engineer at the customer site and no similar issues have been reported post repair.
