What is wrong
Thermo King is recalling certain T-Series (Model T570R, T600, T600R, T800, T800R, T1000, T1000R, T1000 Spectrum) and V-Series (Model 200, 300, 520) temperature control units, manufactured from January 2009 through February 2013 and equipped with the electric standby option. Water may intrude into the unit through an improperly sized connector/seal. This may cause corrosion near the electrical terminals, resulting in an electrical short circuit.
What can happen
An electrical short circuit may result in a vehicle fire.

An electrical short circuit may result in a vehicle fire.
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.
