2001–2002 Daimlerchrysler SLF recall: electrical system
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain transit buses equipped with sure power battery equalizers, p/n 52210 24V/12V 100 amp series 1, the equalizers may experience a failure mode. These equalizers used an inductor with the coils protected by insulation. Over time, the inductor insulation may degrade creating a short.
💥 The risk
The shorted inductor may cause the battery equalizer to smoke or burn, and possibly result in a fire.
🔧 The fix
Sure power will notify dc's customers and replace the equalizers free of charge. Owners may contact sure power at 1-800-845-6269 ext. 113.
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.)
