]No doubt they had all passed the approval testsno carried out at the country of manufacture

The recall is usually the result of premature or excessive failure reports. Which may have just started to show up

Of course, also depends on those electricians who find the failures reporting them.

My YK75 has just started displaying an irregular fault, cutting power supply and not responding to TEST button and reset toggle. Van is a 2005 Olympic. 04 Nov 2019.

 No doubt they were marked as compliant in the country of manufacture, as is all exports.

But it was no doubt premature  failures in service that brought them to the attention of the local authoritiessmile 

 It may have been a few years before the problems started to show up.

They would have an Australian approval number, based on test  info supplied to Aus Authorities & no doubt had that approval number on them

That is the way it usually is done, for ALL imports, not just electrical,  unless you want to pay for all such equipment to be retested in  Australia????

Disconnect things like range hood , AC, fridge anything that could have condensation. If it resets ? Youve found the fault .

 Today we double checked our RCD on our 2012 Concept, we are not one of these.

I have passed the recall notice on to 3 other caravaners for them to check there RCD.

A big Thank you to Outback 123 for bringing this to our attention.
