A voluntary recall has been announced by LEDVANCE for Batch 0 RT56HO900 LED Kits (Model Numbers 75137-0, 75138-0, 75139-0 & 75140-0). 
 
These Batch 0 products are affected by a performance issue causing strobing or flickering due to overheating. This performance issue was resolved in all subsequent batches by adding a higher temperature capacitor and thermal pad. Additionally, the product has a non-isolated driver so the full input voltage to power the product can cause current to flow through the product’s 0-10V dimming wires which may not be known to end users. Accordingly, while no shock hazard exists during normal use even if the Batch 0 product fails, attempting to troubleshoot the strobing/flickering with the power on may result in electrical shock.
 
No other batches (i.e., Batch 1, 2 or 3, of the RT56HO product) or any other products are affected by this recall
 
The model numbers may be found by lifting up the foam protective cover.  Model Number is a 5-digit number followed by a dash and a single digit number.  These represent the model number followed by the batch number (75137-0, 75138-0, 75139-0 & 75140-0).
