Risk and measures
- Risk or hazard
- The slipper pads in certain electric models and the brake pads in certain nitro fuel models may contain chrysotile asbestos, which may be released into the air through friction or if the clutch assembly or brake pads are disassembled. There is a risk of serious medical conditions, including asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma if asbestos fibres are released into the air and breathed in.
- Recommendations
- Consumers should stop using affected vehicles immediately and must not attempt to remove or replace the slipper or brake pads, or disassemble the clutch assembly. Affected vehicles should be returned to their place of purchase to be sent to a centralised repair facility for a free repair. If your vehicle was bought second-hand, your place of purchase is no longer in business or you do not remember where you purchased the vehicle, you should contact Southern Model Supplies for further instructions. For further information, contact Southern Model Supplies by telephone on 1800 888 472 or by email on sales@southernmodels.com.au.
