Fluke 8X Safety Issue Recall!
(1/3) > >>
eV1Te:
It seems one or more batches of Fluke 83V, 87V, and 88V multimeters have a safety issue. As far as I can see, it affects the 4-mm jack not making proper contact in some cases.

Swedish "National Electrical Safety Board" notice: "Stopped sales and recall of affected units"

I archived the video on Youtube in cased Fluke removes the links in the future:

Fungus:
When was that posted?

Looks like they knew there was a production problem but decided to ship anyway after a bit of a manual bodge to try and fix it:
eV1Te:
A colleague at work was notified today about this, so I am not sure how many know about it.

The Swedish "National Electrical Safety Board" says that Fluke on their own initiative called for the recall on "2021-12-13".

Why word this in a way that suggests that their fix may not be adequate?

And as for shipping “anyway”… uhhh… what would you have them do? Scrap them, even though they can be reworked?

They're now recalling them because it wasn't adequate.
