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.

Remedy

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.
