The short answer

NHTSA received Hodyon, Inc.’s report on Feb 5, 2013. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 20, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

If flammable materials are near the overheated wire, there is an increased risk of fire and personal injury.

Hodyon, Inc. is recalling certain Dynasys Auxillary Power Units (APU) distributed between October 2009 and December 2012.

The wire that connects the APU to the heating, ventilation and cooling (HVAC) unit may be under-rated for the electrical current.

If the wire becomes bent or kinked, it may have reduced current carrying capacity resulting localized overheating.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Which ones, by part or lot: the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site gives them where the maker did; this file gives part numbers only where its maker listed them.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
