be performed by any authorized Carrier Transicold dealer at no cost to you. You are urged to have this upgrade completed as
soon as possible. When scheduling your appointment, please reference Vector Upgrades 897, 901/902 and/or 903.
If your dealer already inspected and provided kit upgrades to your units you do not need to take further action. If you
are unsure whether this occurred, please confirm with your dealer as soon as possible. Should you need help in locating a
dealer in your area or have any questions, please call 1-800-448-1661.
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY MESSAGE. FAILURE TO UPGRADE AFFECTED UNITS MAY POSE A FIRE
HAZARD THAT COULD POTENTIALLY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
If Carrier Transicold does not receive warranty claim information from your dealer by October 31, 2015 indicating
Vector units in your fleet received these important safety upgrades, we will conclude that you have decided not to perform this
important safety-related work. Please be advised that you are assuming any and all liability for any personal injury and/or
property damage that may result from the failure to perform these upgrades and will indemnify Carrier Transicold for any and
all liability for said occurrences.
At Carrier Transicold, safety is of paramount importance. Your cooperation is critical to complete this safety-related
work.
