EPIRB Recall

[Aaron]

Hey Hatters,
I've heard there has been a recall on all GME EPIRBS made between 2005 and 2008, some of them may have a fault.
Apparently the tester button works but when activated it does not work.
Hope no one has this brand packed in a life raft

This is the information you all need to read!

In consultation with national maritime authorities, Standard Communications
has decided to recall certain EPIRBs manufactured between January 2005 and February 2008.

The affected units are the MT400, MT401 and MT403 beacons with serial numbers between 50101000 and 80250722.

What should you do?

If you have a GME EPIRB, please check the model number and serial number.
The serial number can be found on the left side of the beacon at the base of the identity panel.

If you own one of the affected units listed above, please contact GME at recall@gme.net.au or your local distributor to arrange a
replacement of your beacon at no extra charge.

Thanks Aaron and Phil. Luckily my MT400 has a serial number starting with 9.
