2002 Polar Trailer recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
One (1) tank Trailer, VIN number 1PM53432021025056, equipped with bendix EC-30T electronic control unit (ECU), the high side power switch inside the ECU that controls the illumination of the trailer-mounted ABS warning lamp may eventually become thermally stressed and experience an electrical short.
💥 The risk
If the power switch shorts it CAN result in an over-current condition in the ECU and lead to excessive heat, smoke, and possible fire.
🔧 The fix
Bendix will replace the EC-30T ECU with another unit. The owner should contact bendix at 1-800-478-1793.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
