Product Safety Warning Total Solutions & Power (TSP) accumulators

We refer to our Product Safety Warning Letter SL2016-614/PRP of May 2016, where we informed you about incidents reported with TSP accumulators which have suffered from breakage.

Such incidents pose a serious potential threat to property and persons and may even result in bodily injuries and/or fatal casualties.

We wish to clarify that only accumulators of the TSP 10L design are affected. Furthermore, the affected accumulators are restricted to the accumulators fitted to the hydraulic system on ME engines of our design with 300-bar working pressure. Accordingly, accumulators fitted to the Alpha Lubricator system and to the MC-type engines are not affected.

In addition, we inform you that additional investigations by TSP have shown that the protective guard solution designed by TSP for the accumulator of the 10L design is not a feasible measure to solve the potential serious threat to property and persons. Therefore, we attach a safety warning letter from TSP showing their action plan on how to handle the situation through immediate exchange of all affected 10L accumulators of TSP design with a new improved version.
