Description
This recall includes IMI Cornelius Pinnacle FCB frozen carbonate beverage dispensers manufactured between May 2002 and June 2004 with a specific motor drive system. The units contain two or four dispensing valves and come in various color combinations. The names "Cornelius," "FCB," and "Pinnacle" are located on identification plates on the unit's right-side panel. Cornelius is notifying customers of the serial numbers of affected units sold to them.

Remedy
Owners of the drink dispensers should discontinue use and contact IMI Cornelius. The company will send a customer service representative to repair the product free of charge or provide the owners with a modification and instruction kit.
