Affected products
2014 | LODE KING | SEMI TRAILER, 2015 | LODE KING | SEMI TRAILER
Issue
On certain hopper-bottom style trailers outfitted with a Michel tarp system, the battery enclosure may not be adequately vented. If the battery in the unit is overcharged, freezes or malfunctions, it may expel a highly flammable gas, which could buildup in the battery enclosure. When the system is next energized it is possible that a spark would occur, which could act as an ignition source, potentially resulting in a fire and/or an explosion causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the defective control box with an updated version that corrects the problem.
