Defect: Cottrell, Inc. (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. The specific potting compound used in the subject products for insulation was found to be capable of conducting electricity after being exposed to heat.
Risk: Once electrically conductive, the material is capable of melting and burning, increasing the risk of a fire.
Fix: 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.
