What's wrong?
On the 2018-2024 Morbark M20, Eeger Beever 2230, Eeger Beever 2131, and Eeger Beever 1821 trailers, the PDM passthrough is part of the power distribution module. That module helps route electrical power to the engine. The wiring is supposed to stay clamped in place at the passthrough so it cannot rub or contact the PDM plate.
The problem starts with the nut that secures the wiring. If that nut was not tightened enough during PDM manufacturing, it can loosen during use. Loose wiring can touch the PDM plate, which can cause electrical arcing between the wire and the plate. That arcing can damage the wire coating and ignite nearby forestry byproduct.
There is no warning sign before failure. The loose fastener is inside the module area, so an owner or operator is unlikely to see the problem during normal walkaround checks.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific vehicle is included.
What's the safety risk?
Electrical arcing can increase the risk of a fire, so treat this recall as a fire-safety issue, not a cosmetic wiring problem. If your VIN is included, schedule the dealer repair soon and limit use until the wires are secured. Repair is free at any franchised Morbark dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2018-2024 Morbark M20, Eeger Beever 2230, Eeger Beever 2131, or Eeger Beever 1821 trailer is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Morbark dealer to schedule the free wiring repair that secures the loose Power Distribution Module wires.
- Bring the owner letter if you have it. If not, reference recall number 24V627 when you call.
- Avoid operating the trailer until the loose PDM wiring is secured, because electrical arcing raises fire risk.
- Call Morbark customer service at 1-800-255-8839 with questions about the repair.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Morbark technician secures the electrical wires in the Power Distribution Module so the wiring does not contact the PDM plate. The recall repair is free, and parts and labor are covered. If this loose wiring condition was already found and fixed on your affected trailer before campaign 24V627, Morbark will reimburse owners who paid for that remedy. Contact Morbark customer service at 1-800-255-8839 and ask what documentation to submit for the claim.
