Model T-2 hand-held electrical voltage and continuity testers
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Fluke Corp. has recalled certain electrical testers because batteries inside them can corrode and lose contact with the device's connections, causing the testers to lose power unexpectedly. When these testers power down, they can no longer warn users about dangerous electrical current, creating a risk of electric shock, electrocution, and thermal burns.
The recall affects yellow and black Fluke T2 testers measuring about 6.25 by 1.75 by 1.25 inches with black wire leads and black and red probes. Units with serial numbers lower than 74165430 (located on the back above the wire leads) are included in this recall. According to the recall, affected consumers should stop using the tester immediately and contact Fluke to obtain a free repair kit or to arrange to send the unit to Fluke for repair.
