What is wrong
Carrier Corporation (Carrier) is recalling certain Carrier Transicold X2 2100A, X2 2500A trailer refrigeration units, and aftermarket replacement part kits. The affected units have certain taped wiring harnesses and optional field-installed unit bottom panels. A bolt may protrude from the bottom panel and abrade the taped wiring harness.
What can happen
If the bottom panel bolt abrades one of the two battery wires in the harness, a short may occur, increasing the risk of a fire.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Carrier will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and install a rubber lined clamp to prevent the wires from contacting the bottom panel bolt. The recall began on May 28, 2014. Owners may contact Carrier customer service at 1-800-448-1661. Carrier's number for this recall is SER14-013.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
