Hazard

Raymarine has identified that certain ACUs manufactured between June and July 2022 were fitted with a drive component of incorrect specification. Whilst the ACUs may function correctly, there is a risk that the affected component could fail prematurely. This could prevent the ACU from driving in one or both directions or cause it to turn the tiller / wheel fully in one direction, potentially giving rise to a loss of directional control unless or until the system is disconnected.
