Plain-English summary
Monroe Truck Equipment is recalling certain model year 2006, 2008, and 2009 Chevrolet C7500 vehicles, 2005-2006 Chevrolet Tahoe vehicles, and 2009 Ford F-350 and F-450 vehicles. These vehicles are equipped with Sure Power-brand battery equalizers or DC-DC converters that contain a specific epoxy sealing, or '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. Once electrically conductive, the material is capable of melting and burning, increasing the risk of a fire.
Monroe will notify owners, and Sure Power will replace the equalizers or converters, free of charge. The recall began on March 24, 2014. Owners may contact Monroe at 1-608-328-8127 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
