Square D Electric Panel Recall

Schneider Electric TM Recalls 1.4 Million Electrical Panels Due to Thermal Burn and Fire Hazards

Summary

CAUTION – EVALUATION OF AN ELECTRICAL PANEL SHOULD BE COMPLETED BY CONTACTING A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE YOUR PANEL COVER AS IT IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD.

Understanding where to look for a Square D model number in the panel enclosure and on the panel cover is important in identifying a potential recalled panel. Make sure that the panel cover and the panel enclosure have correct model numbers and then make sure the model number is cross-checked with the recall list to determine if further evaluation should be completed by a licensed electrician. If model numbers are worn or not visible, please look out for the imbedded neutral bar and plug on style neutral breakers. Date information is difficult to see under normal circumstances, but you may be able to locate one inside the panel. The date code will look like a 5-6 digit number, usually near the catalog/model number or near the UL listing marks. The date code will usually only have year and week listed out in the first 4 numbers on the code. Please rely on the listed model numbers and use the date code method if labels are worn/not legible.
