What’s wrong with it?

Broken parts of the starter may strike someone in close proximity, increasing their risk of injury.

Carrier Corporation (Carrier) is recalling certain starters used for starting Carrier Transicold trailer refrigeration units.

The starters, Carrier Transicold or Performance Parts Group part number 25-39316-01, or Thermo Engine Supply part number R-25-39316-00, were manufactured April 1, 2009, to August 18, 2016.

These starter assemblies may come apart during the start cycle, and the pieces may strike someone that is in close proximity to the starter.

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.
