Submitted by randall df223 on Wed, 2014-07-09 19:47
I have just seen a post on Facebook that GME are recalling epirbs manufactured between Jan 2005 and Feb 2008. Models MT400 MT401 and MT403. S/N between 50101000 and 80250722.
Sorry I can't paste the link

Not sure. The older ones
Not sure. The older ones maybe. I thought most epirbs had a ten year life with a battery replacement after 5 years????

I cant find a general recall
I cant find a general recall on the website, only the 6 month old one "if it fails a self test" one?
Give a man a mask, and he'll show you his true face...
The older you get the more you realize that no one has a f++king clue what they're doing.
Everyone's just winging it.

thanks
I am sure my beacon falls into this range, was about to organise a replacement batery for it. Guess now it will be replaced. Thanks for the alert Randall, mine has a 6 year battery life so just falls into this range.
