Hi all. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued one recall. The issue is fire. Nothing like fire to ruin your day. Please have your unit repaired before trouble strikes.
Report Receipt Date: FEB 05, 2013
NHTSA Campaign Number: 13E006000
Component(s): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Equipment Brand Name - Part No. or Model No. - Production Dates:
Manufacturer: Hodyon, Inc.
SUMMARY:
Hodyon, Inc. is recalling certain Dynasys Auxillary Power Units (APU) distributed between October 2009 and December 2012. The wire that connects the APU to the heating, ventilation and cooling (HVAC) unit may be under-rated for the electrical current. If the wire becomes bent or kinked, it may have reduced current carrying capacity resulting localized overheating.
CONSEQUENCE:
If flammable materials are near the overheated wire, there is an increased risk of fire and personal injury.
REMEDY:
Hodyon has sent interim notification letters to the affected customers, and dealers will rewire the affected electrical components going to the HVAC system. The recall remedy is expected to be available be in February 2013. Owners may contact Hodyon at 1-800-289-8282.
NOTES:
Hodyon's recall campaign number is TSB-01242013. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
