Window-balcony
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Velux window-balconies model GDL P19 sold between June 1, 2005 and April 16, 2007 have a safety defect involving the side railings. The two screws that attach the side railings are 1.6 mm too short, preventing them from being securely fastened to the nuts. When the window-balcony is opened and closed, these screws can become loose and detach from one or both side railings, making the barrier inadequate and creating a risk of injury.
The affected units can be identified by checking the information plate on the upper frame for the model number GDL P19 along with one of these codes: AR05 through AR12, AS01 through AS11, or AT01 through AT04. An importer has taken voluntary corrective action in response to this hazard. The source does not specify what remedy or corrective action an affected consumer should pursue.

The two screws used to attach the side railings are 1.6 mm too short, which means that they cannot be fixed securely to the nuts. When the window-balcony is opened and closed, the screws, which are on each side of the upper part of the side railings, can become loose and detach, rendering one (or both) side railings unsafe. The barrier is therefore inadequate, with the consequent risk of injury. As long as the nut is fastened/fitted to the screw, the structure of the railing remains intact but becomes loose. Despite being unstable the strength of the railing is unchanged. If one of the screws and nuts became detached, the side railing would remain unattached to the lower element.
