Castle Creations inspection and corrective action notice on the Phoenix Edge HV160
“Only affects the following builds:
C10545 C10546 C10547 C11840 C11841 C11842
It has come to our attention that some of these ESCs which shipped during April and May of 2013 may experience failures due to the control board becoming unseated from the power board.
The units affected will have a label on the receiver wire that includes the build number. The build number is listed in a format like “C10545:XX”, please ignore the “XX” portion of the code. If the build number on your controller is not listed above, then your controller is not affected.
Castle uses a piece of silicone-rubber foam to maintain a slight compression of the connector between the two printed circuit boards. In a few instances, this small silicone-rubber foam piece was placed in an incorrect location preventing it from doing its job.
We therefore ask that you perform the following quick inspection and possible corrective action before you attempt to power the controllers for any reason.”

It’s no guarantee to go to another brand – I had a Kontronik fail.

dont get why people come to a forum of a product they state that they DONT USE. Every product fails, castle being the most popular ESC on the market might be a reason for a larger number of failures than Kont. which is 4x the price. Been flying castle for years 0 issues. You keep your Kontronik and ill keep my wallet.

It’s NOT a recall it’s a service advisory. There is a very big difference.
　
I read on another forum that CC had some quality control problems at their assembly plant and have now corrected the problem. It only takes a minute to check and move the piece of foam rubber if it’s not in the correct location.
