Thermo King Corp. is recalling approximately 1,503 Tripac-3 Auxiliary Power Units (APU) with part number 800908 that were manufactured between April 8, 2024, and May 15, 2024. These units contain mounting bolts that are too short and can loosen over time during vehicle operation. If the bolts fail, the APU could detach from the vehicle and fall into the roadway, creating a significant hazard for other motorists. Authorized dealers will inspect the mounting kits and replace the short bolts with correct hardware free of charge.
The mounting bolts are too short to properly secure the unit, which can cause them to vibrate loose and lead to the entire power unit detaching from the vehicle while in motion. This creates a road hazard that significantly increases the risk of a crash for the driver and other vehicles.
