Why Was This Recalled?

Potential failure mode related to the radial brake, where the detector was able to drift, led to a re-design of the brake redundancy circuit. The redesigned Brake Redundancy Circuit will force even a defective brake to engage in the unpowered state by applying a reverse charge to the brake and ensuring the brake has demagnetized.
