2005 COTTRELL CAR HAULER Recall

Campaign:

06V249000 on 07/12/2006

Component:

Exterior lighting

Manufactured:

02/21/2005 - 06/27/2006

Affected:

63

Defect:

On certain car hauling trailers with an extra night loading light option (6light/7light), the tractor and trailer lights were wired to one switch rather than two separate switches. these lights may have a fuse in the electrical circuit that is rated higher than the other electrical components in the circuit.

Consequence:

These components may potentially overheat without blowing the fuse which could cause a fire in the electrical circuit.

Correction:

One-switch circuits will be rewired to create two-switch circuits. all customers have been contacted to disable the night-loading light option and arrangements have been made to have these trailers repaired. owners may contact cottrell at 1-770-532-7251.

Notes:

Customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.
