Carrier Corporation (Carrier) is recalling certain Carrier Transicold Vector 8611MT Trailer Refrigeration Units (TRU). The generator harness may be improperly routed, allowing contact and chafing with the chassis bolt and TRU generator.
If the harness chafes the generator, the harness can be damaged and cause electrical arcing, increasing the risk of a fire.
Carrier will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and reroute and secure the generator harness and the condensate drainage tubes, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began April 22, 2020. Owners may contact Carrier customer service at 1-800-448-1661. Carrier's number for this recall is R-968.
