The problem

On two (2) tank trailers equipped with bendix ec-30t electronic control unit (Ecu), 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 replace the ec-30t ECU with another unit. Owner should contact bendix at 1-800-478-1793 or beall at 1-503-737-2146.
