What's wrong?
The transfer switch on the 2022-2023 Atc PL700 is the electrical box that routes power between available power sources for the trailer. In this recall, the affected part is the 50A transfer switch with reverse polarity protection. Its wire connections need to stay tightened to the correct torque so current flows through solid contact points instead of loose terminals.
On affected trailers, the wires in the transfer switch were installed with the wrong tool. That tool did not tighten the connections to the proper torque. A loose connection lets the wire move or sit with poor contact inside the switch. That poor contact creates friction and heat, which can smoke the switch and burn wiring.
Owners can notice a burnt smell or smoke coming from the transfer switch before the problem is found. Treat that smell or smoke as the warning sign, and do not ignore it.
