What happened

Thermo King is recalling certain T-Series and V-Series temperature control units manufactured between January 2009 and February 2013 that are equipped with the electric standby option. These units have an improperly sized connector and seal that can allow water to enter, potentially causing corrosion near electrical terminals and resulting in an electrical short circuit that may lead to a vehicle fire.

Thermo King will notify owners, and dealers will replace the existing connector and O-ring with a properly sized connector, new sealing washer, and gasket at no charge. The recall began on April 25, 2013. Owners should contact Thermo King at 1-952-887-2200.
