The short version
Daimler Trucks North America LLC reported a problem with the appliance air conditioner. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected vehicles are equipped with Bergstrom Parksmart HVAC auxiliary units. On these units, there may be inadequate contact between the electrical connector on the compressor and electrical pins causing a high electrical resistance resulting in excessive heat.
The overheated connection can increase the risk of a fire.
DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the connector caps, free of charge.
