What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Kentucky Trailer Manufacturing (KTM) is recalling certain 2019-2023 (KTSV) XL-12 trailers equipped with Carrier Transicold Supra 950, 950MT, and 960 refrigeration units. The centrifugal clutch may overheat and break apart.

The risk

Hot components from the clutch assembly may fall onto nearby flammable materials, such as leaves or other debris, increasing the risk of a fire.

The remedy

Carrier will replace the panels around the clutch, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 19, 2023. Owners may contact KTM customer service at 1-502-637-5221.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
