Equipment
Reported Jul 19, 2012 · IDLE FREE SYSTEMS, INC.
Summary
Idle Free Systems, Inc. (IFS) is recalling certain auxiliary power units (APU), model MT-HR-H-06, manufactured from February 2010 through December 2011 and installed as aftermarket equipment on heavy trucks. The APU captures excess energy produced by the truck's alternator. This energy is converted to electricity which can be used to power A/C and heat systems in the truck's cab.
Consequence
The battery separator contained in the APU could experience an internal circuit board capacitor failure, which could result in a fire.
Remedy
IFS will notify owners and the battery separator will be replaced free of charge. The safety recall began during August 2012. Owners may contact IFS at 1-920-206-9333.
Notes
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.
