Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Certain utility vehicles equipped with Sure Power DC-DC converters from model years 2008-2011 are being recalled due to a defective epoxy sealing compound used for insulation. The compound can become electrically conductive when exposed to heat, which creates a risk of the converter melting and burning and potentially causing a fire.
DUECO is notifying owners of affected vehicles, and Sure Power will replace the faulty converters at no cost. The recall began on May 29, 2014. Owners of recalled vehicles should contact DUECO at 1-800-558-4004 to arrange for the replacement.
