Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with xantrex Freedom sw 3000 inverter/charges. Due to poor soldering in close proximity to inadequately torqued bus bars in the product, melted solder can result in a short circuit failure.

Why it matters: A short circuit can result in the unit overheating, possibly resulting in a fire.

The fix: Dynamax will notify the owners and will replace the affected units with a new xantrex freedom inverter/charger that contains a temperature sensor free of charge. The safety recall began on November 15, 2010.
