Kentucky Trailer XL-12 Recall 23V632: Overheating Clutch Can Drop Hot Parts and Start Fires

NHTSA campaign 23V632, reported September 12, 2023, 3 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

This recall covers certain 2019 through 2023 XL-12 trailers equipped with Carrier Transicold Supra 950, 950MT, or 960 refrigeration units. The centrifugal clutch in the refrigeration unit may overheat and break apart, and hot components from the clutch assembly can fall onto nearby flammable materials such as leaves or other debris.

This creates a risk of fire. Owners should watch for anything that looks like a fire hazard near the refrigeration unit and keep the area clear of leaves and debris while the recall remains open.

Carrier will replace the panels around the clutch at no cost to the owner. Owners who have questions can contact Kentucky Trailer Manufacturing customer service at 1-502-637-5221. Owner notification letters were mailed September 19, 2023, and you can also check your VIN for any open recalls.
