Reason for Recall

The Fluid Coupling Sleeve, a component within the Neptune Waste Management System Docker, may be out of specification. This can cut or dislodge the PTFE seal and cause a leak between the Rover and Docker couplers during docking or leaking from the Rover coupler after docking. The potential hazard is waste fluid and/or fresh water dispensed from the Neptune 2 Rover at the incorrect time.
