Honeywell Recalls Vista Security System Control Panels

Failure of Panic Feature Prompts Recall

About 7,000 Vista Residential" Security System Control Panels distributed by Honeywell International Inc., are being recalled because the systems programmed with a wireless silent panic feature can fail to operate properly the first time the panic button is pressed on the remote transmitter. If the panic button is pressed only once, this can unexpectedly leave residents without a triggered alarm during an emergency.

This recall involves the following models of the "Vista Residential" series control panels: Vista-21iP, Vista-21iPSIA, FA168C-GP, 320P1, GAV20P, Vista 15P, and Vist-20pSIA. Only panels with certain date codes are subject to the recall. The control panel is the main portion of the security system (not the keypad) typically located in an inconspicuous place in the home such as the basement, garage or closet.

The security system control panels were sold at security and alarm dealers nationwide from October 2007 through January 2009 for between $35 and $115.
