Saw that too. I installed PHS myself and haven't had problems with it. During our recent shenanigans with NTSA, most of those brands mentioned there had a variety of issues ranging from incompatibility with NTSA's equipment (apparently all governors were/are supposed to be universally compatible with NTSA equipment and the dealers themselves agreed to this), faulty/absent recorders, etc.
Had a PHS unit which failed after approximately one month. Have not had issues with Saferider SRG 1.1 and Trident. I guess its either luck or someone at PHS knows people in high places.
Hi Matatuman,
I highly suspect that the notice emanates from the recent re-inspection of NENO vehicles that had been suspended. It must have been a reasonably good sample of what is in the market considering over 400 vehicles were inspected. My observations from the field. ALL PHS speed governed cars were able to pass the inspection save for those that had speeding issues. Quite a number, including mine had a problem with the date reading as the year 2000, which was quickly rectified by re-programming. My second vehicle had a MOCK (Its motherboards clearly are witten EKAS) speed governor/recorder. Amazingly, it was inspected 4 times and failed 3. The governor works perfectly well, had no records of speeding but the NTSA guys gadgets could not access the recorder bit. Yet the vendors could see all the data using their laptops. Amazingly, ALL MOCK recorders except one failed. The data was not retrievable even in the presence of the installers. We ALL ended up borrowing the recorder of the one vehicle that passed and had the memory cards from our faulty recorders inserted into the new recorder and they were able to download the data.They later on changed the recorders but we honestly cannot tell whether they are downloadable, despite the fact that they are working on the road perfectly.
I must say, sadly, that almost ALL PGL governors/Recorders failed miserably. They were the majority of the vehicles inspected. probably more than a third of the NENO fleet were fitted with PGL governors. Correction of the same took almost 4 days. You would think the inspection centre had been moved to the EMBU stadium where they were being sorted out.
