NHTSA campaign 15V481, reported July 30, 2015, 13 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

The battery equalizer, a replacement part installed on certain 2001 through 2006 Liftmoore 6036WX truck cranes, uses an insulating potting compound that was found to be capable of conducting electricity after exposure to heat. Once the material becomes electrically conductive, it can melt and burn.
