Bosch Security Systems of Fairport, N.Y., is recalling about 2,000 Bosch GV4 Fire Alarm Control Panels.
The notification appliance circuit module can cause the panels to fail to activate an audible or visual alarm in the event of a fire.
No incidents or injuries have been reported.
The recall involves G-series Fire Alarm Control Panels that are professionally installed and have model numbers that end in GV4 and use D192G Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC) modules. The NAC module monitors the circuit connections and signals when alarms are not operational. The Bosch name, logo and model number D9412GV4, D7412GV4 or D7212GV4 are on the board of recalled GV4 fire alarm control panels.
The control panels and modules are used in residences and commercial facilities and can be mounted inside a variety of enclosures with a minimum size of 16 inches x 16 inches x 3.5 inches, which may or may not be labeled with the Bosch name or logo.
The control panels, manufactured in China, were sold through authorized distributors and certified professional installers nationwide from January 2012, to December 2012, for about $90.
Consumers who have a recalled GV4 control panel with a D192G NAC module should contact Bosch or their certified professional installer for a free repair. Bosch has contacted their distributors and installers and sent installers a service bulletin telling them how to correct the problem.
Consumers may contact Bosch at (800) 289-0096, from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET Monday and 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET Tuesday through Friday.
