What was recalled

The model T-2 hand-held electrical voltage and continuity testers measure 24 to 600 volts alternating current (VAC), and 6 to 220 volts direct current (VDC). "Fluke" and "T2" are written on the front of the unit. The tester body is yellow and black, and measures about 6.25 inches long by 1.75 inches wide and 1.25 inches thick. The wire leads are black and have one black and one red probe. Recalled units have a serial number higher than 73510000. The serial number is located on the back of the unit above the wire leads. Fluke conducted two previous recalls in November 1998 and 1999 on T2 Electrical Testers because of different electrical connection problems. Even if consumers had their testers repaired previously (serial numbers below 74165430), their testers could be part of this new recall and the serial number must be checked to determine if it is included in this recall program.
