NHTSA recall 13E006000 · Equipment
Electrical system
The defect
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.
The risk
If flammable materials are near the overheated wire, there is an increased risk of fire and personal injury.
The 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 began on February 19, 2013. Owners may contact Dynasys Customer Service at 1-800-289-8282 ext 3.
