Vestas Wind Systems A/S and Gamesa Corp. Tecnologica SA, two of the four biggest wind turbine manufacturers, warned clients of possible flaws in a pair of their older models.

Gamesa told customers of a potential fault in a component of the G-47 660-kilowatt turbine, a spokeswoman for the Spanish company said today by phone. Vestas also told clients about a possible flaw in the “root part” of the blades for the V47 turbine of the same capacity, spokesman Andrew Hilton said.
