Hodyon is recalling certain Dynasys Auxillary Power Units (APU) distributed between October 2009 and December 2012. The wire that connects the APU to the heating, ventilation and cooling (HVAC) unit may be under-rated for the electrical current. If the wire becomes bent or kinked, it may have reduced current carrying capacity resulting localized overheating.
