- Action
- Siemens has initiated a Customer Safety Advisory Notice (CSAN) to all affected customers via CT035/19/S. Customers with valid email addresses were emailed a copy of the CSAN on 07/03/2019 via Adobe Mega Sign. The CSAN were distributed to the remaining customers without a valid email address via certified mail on 07/12/2019. Additionally, a solution to eliminate the root cause of this problem (application of software update VB20) will be distributed to all affected customers free of charge. Following the corrective action, the cause is eliminated and a recurrence of the fault is prevented.
