Why it was recalled

Systems which had their ADUs serviced may have an incorrect board value (calibration data file) referenced causing a misconfiguration of the calibration. 2. Inability of Maintenance and Diagnostics 2300 (Amp Detect Optical Calibrations) to recognize error handling and thermal hold errors during the calibration process, potentially leading to a misconfiguration of the calibration. 3. Under specific conditions during the ADU manufacturing process, an incorrect calibration may potentially have been configured.
