Dear Valued Customer:
This is a safety recall notice under the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Failure to perform the inspection and installation work described in this letter could result in property damage or personal injury.
Carrier Transicold has determined that a defect that relates to motor vehicle safety exists in all Supra series S6, S7, S8 and S9 road only and standby models of diesel truck refrigeration units shipped before February 24, 2020 (together, the “affected TRUs”). Our records indicate that affected TRUs are registered to your company under the serial number(s) listed in the attachment to this letter.
The battery cables of both the road only and stand by models and the standby cables of the standby models of the affected TRUs are routed in a manner that they may come into contact with and chafe against the affected TRUs’ engine oil pan. This chafing can, under certain conditions, damage the cables and lead to electrical arcing and possibly a fire.
Your authorized Carrier Transicold dealer will contact you to arrange to have all affected TRUs shown in the attachment to this letter or otherwise in your possession inspected. During that inspection the dealer will reroute and secure, and if necessary, repair, affected TRUs’ battery and standby cables. The inspection and rework will be provided at no charge to you. Carrier Transicold estimates the inspection and securing of an affected TRU’s battery and standby cables will take one and one half hours. If the affected TRU’s battery and standby cables must be repaired, the inspection, securing and repair is expected to take two hours.
Carrier Transicold dealers have also received notice that the defect is present and that the affected TRUs’ battery and standby cables should be inspected and reworked. If your Carrier Transicold dealer has already completed this inspection and rework in accordance with this notice, no further action is required. If you are unsure whether this occurred, please confirm with your dealer as soon as possible. If you believe you have previously completed the remedy work described in this notification letter and such work was not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, or you otherwise were obligated to pay for such work, please contact your dealer for reimbursement, if appropriate. Should you need help locating an authorized Carrier Transicold dealer in your area, wish to confirm whether your Carrier Transicold equipment is affected by this notice or have any other questions, please call the Carrier Transicold Action Line at 800-448-1661.
Federal law requires any lessor who receives a notification of a determination of a safety-related defect or noncompliance pertaining to any leased motor vehicle shall send the notice to the lessee within 10 days.
If you believe that Carrier Transicold has failed to remedy the defect without charge, or if you believe that Carrier Transicold has failed to remedy the defect (without charge) within sixty (60) days of your first attempt to obtain the repair, you may submit a complaint to the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590, or call the toll-free Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153), or go to https://www.safercar.gov.
