Defect Description

(Cottrell) is recalling certain model year 2005-2011 auto transporter vehicles equipped with Sure Power-brand battery equalizers containing a particular epoxy sealing, aka 'potting', compound.

Safety Consequence

Once electrically conductive, the material is capable of melting and burning, increasing the risk of a fire.

Remedy

Cottrell, Inc., will notify owners, and Sure Power will replace the equalizers, free of charge. The recall began on February 27, 2014. Owners may contact Cottrell toll-free at 1-866-299-2690 ext. 313.
