Horizon Hobby is recalling about 6,800 power supply units and chargers included with HobbyZone Super Cub S model aircraft. These units can overcharge the batteries, which can lead to fires and exploding batteries. The firm has received 18 reports of incidents, including small fires and property damage. The affected aircraft, sold between April 2014 and August 2014, include the Super Cub S Ready-To-Fly and Bind-N-Fly models.
The power supply and charging components can overcharge the aircraft's battery, causing it to overheat, explode, or catch fire. This defect poses a serious risk of fire and damage to the surrounding area, with multiple reports already documenting property damage and battery explosions.
Consumers should stop using the power supply and chargers immediately and contact Horizon Hobby for a replacement AC charger.
