Parksmart recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Bergstrom Inc. (Bergstrom) is recalling certain ParkSmart HVAC Auxiliary units manufactured for Freightliner Cascadia trucks, specifically models A22-69027-004, A22-69027-005, A22-72122-001, A22-72122-002, and BSM 1000627018. High electrical resistance from inadequate contact between the electrical connector on the compressor end of the harness and the electrical pins on the top of the compressor may result in excessive heat.
What could happen
The overheated connection can increase the risk of a fire.
The fix
Daimler Trucks North America will notify owners and authorized Freightliner dealers will replace the connector caps. Additionally, dealers will replace the harnesses if there is evidence of heat discoloration. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on May 13, 2016. Owners may contact Bergstrom customer service at 1-866-204-8570.
