Root Cause Analysis:
A potential television tipping hazard has been identified. The weight of the television display may cause a deformation of the resin in which the pedestal mounting screws are inserted. Repeated swiveling of the pedestal may result in unsteadiness of the television due to loosened screws.
If you have a TH-55LRU50 please contact Panasonic North of America to arrange for a service technician (if necessary) to install a reinforcement kit (if pedestal mounted).
Kit includes:
- A metal plate to distribute the load evenly and prevent deformation of the pedestal mounting area.
- Replacement screws of increased length and locking shape to increase the frictional force of the thread.
