What NHTSA recorded

On certain terminal tractors, the heater/air-conditioning (ac) duct under the dash was not properly routed or secured. Chaffing may occur exposing the steel spiral reinforcement.

Possible consequence

If this reinforcement is contacted with an electrical power connector, such as the power stud on the firewall, it may cause an electrical short resulting in a spark and potential fire.

Remedy

Owners will be provided with instructions on how to inspect their vehicle for the presence of the defective heater/ac hose duct. If after inspection, the vehicle is determined to have an improper heater/ac hose, kalmar will send a replacement heater/ac hose. The recall began on february 11, 2008.
