NHTSA recall 03V466000
Electrical system
RC Trailer
The defect
On certain trailers equipped with bendix ec-30t electronic control units (ecu). if the trailer-mounted ABS warning lamp circuit experiences an electrical short and the short IS not repaired, the high side power switch inside the ecu that controls the illumination of the trailer-mounted ABS warning lamp may eventually become thermally stressed and experience an electrical short.
The risk
If the power switch shorts, it can result in an over-current condition in the ecu and lead to excessive heat, smoke, and possible fire.
The remedy
Bendix will provide a remedy kit and detailed instructions and also provide a labor allowance for the repair. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact bendix at 1-800-478-1793 or RC trailers at 619-469-1487.
