NHTSA recall 14V070000
Electrical System · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with sure power-brand battery equalizers or dc-dc converters 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.
Why it matters: Once electrically conductive, the material is capable of melting and burning, increasing the risk of a fire.
The fix: Monroe will notify owners, and sure power will replace the equalizers or converters, free of charge. The recall began on March 24, 2014.
