Siebe actuators
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Invensys Building Systems is recalling Siebe MA-200 and MA-200-1 series actuators used in fire and smoke dampers installed in commercial and residential buildings between December 1993 and October 1999. The actuators contain a spring mechanism designed to close dampers during a fire to prevent smoke, fire, and fumes from spreading through ventilation systems. However, the recalled actuators can jam and fail to close, which could allow smoke, fire, and fumes to spread throughout a building and cause serious injury or death to occupants.
To obtain a free replacement actuator, building owners must test the actuator and report the results to Invensys. Only actuators that fail testing will be replaced.

A spring mechanism integrated with the damper is designed to close the damper during a fire to limit the spread of smoke, fire and fumes. The recalled actuators can jam and prevent the dampers from closing. If dampers fail to close during a fire, serious injury or death can be suffered by building occupants because smoke, fire and fumes can spread through a building's ventilation system.
To be eligible for a free actuator replacement, the building owner must test the actuator and report the results to Invensys. Only actuators that fail testing will be replaced.
These MA-200 and MA-200-1 series actuators were used in fire and smoke dampers that were manufactured by various companies from December 1993 through October 1999, which were installed by private contractors in commercial and residential buildings. The actuators have manufacture date codes of 9348 through 9947. See the associated recall alert for more details on the dampers and companies involved.
