Recall 03V-359: 2000–2003 Silver Eagle CSL-20W, 2000–2003 Silver Eagle Vast-20N and 1 more
SILVER EAGLE MFG. CO. recall for service brakes, air, reported to NHTSA on Oct 6, 2003, covering about 3,676 vehicles.
The problem
On certain converter dollies equipped with bendix ec-30t electronic control units (Ecu). If the trailer-mounted ABS warning lamp circuit experiences an electrical short and the short is not repaired, the high side power switch inside the ECU that controls the illumination of the trailer-mounted ABS warning lamp may eventually become thermally stressed and experience an electrical short.
The risk
If the power switch shorts, it can result in an over-current condition in the ECU and lead to excessive heat, smoke, and possible fire.
The fix
Bendix will provide a remedy kit and detailed instructions and also provide a labor allowance for the repair. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact bendix at 1-800-478-1793 or silver eagle at 1-800-547-6792.
