2005 Cottrell Car Hauler recalls
Recall 06V-249: Exterior Lighting
Problem: On certain car hauling trailers with an extra night loading light option (6light/7light), the tractor and trailer lights were wired to one switch rather than two separate switches. These lights may have a fuse in the electrical circuit that is rated higher than the other electrical components in the circuit.
Risk: These components may potentially overheat without blowing the fuse which could cause a fire in the electrical circuit.
Fix: One-switch circuits will be rewired to create two-switch circuits. All customers have been contacted to disable the night-loading light option and arrangements have been made to have these trailers repaired. Owners may contact cottrell at 1-770-532-7251.
