Thermo King Corporation (Thermo King) is recalling certain 1100W, 1500W, and 2000W inverters sold May 15, 2014, to July 31, 2014, as a standalone option with both the Thermo King TriPac EVOLUTION and TriPac-e Auxiliary Power Units ("APU").

An inverter fire may result in a vehicle fire.
Thermo King will notify owners, and dealers will either replace the inverter free of charge or offer a full refund. The recall began in October 2014. Owners may contact Thermo King customer service at 1-866-776-2708.
