Aluminum Trailer Company (ATC) is recalling 58 of its 2022-2023 PL700 trailers because the wire connections in the electrical transfer switch may have been improperly tightened. These loose connections can cause the electrical components to overheat, which significantly increases the risk of a fire inside the trailer. Aluminum Trailer Company began notifying owners by mail on August 30, 2023, and dealers will provide a free repair to secure the connections.
Loose electrical connections create high resistance, which generates excessive heat during operation. This overheating can melt surrounding components or ignite nearby materials, leading to a vehicle fire.
Dealers will tighten the wire connections free of charge.
