The letter reiterated and emphasized the importance of proper handling and maintenance for the actuator. The firm enclosed with this correspondence a proposed letter that the OEMs were asked to send to their customers, including the safety instructions and a new warning label. The firm also is making available for OEMs, dealers and their customers new warning labels to place on all actuators in service. The root cause of the problem is still under investigation by the recalling firm and additional instruction may follow later
