Requirements breached
The product poses a risk of injuries because control over gear-changing can be lost as a result of breakage of the stud fitted in the bell crank in certain models, which may cause a loss of control over the craft and lead to an accident. The breakage was found to be due to corrosion that may result from prolonged contact with salt water.
