Motorola DCT2000 digital cable set-top boxes
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Motorola has recalled approximately 30,000 DCT2000 digital cable set-top boxes because pins in the rear of the box that connect to the power cord could break, creating an electric shock hazard. The affected boxes are black, approximately 17 inches wide and 2.5 inches high, with "MOTOROLA" and "INTERACTIVE DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS" printed on the front and the model number "DCT2000" on the user guide cover.
According to the recall notice, consumers with these set-top boxes can continue using them normally but should not remove the power cord from the rear of the box. If unplugging is necessary, the power cord should always be disconnected from the wall outlet or other energy source rather than from the back of the box. Cable operators are contacting customers to determine whether they have an affected set-top box that needs replacement.
