NHTSA recall campaign
12E027000
What was wrong
Defect
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.
Risk
The battery separator contained in the APU could experience an internal circuit board capacitor failure, which could result in a fire.
Manufacturer 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.
