## What is wrong

Daimler Trucks North America LLC \(DTNA\) is recalling certain model year 2014\-2015 Freightliner Cascadia vehicles manufactured May 5, 2014, to August 18, 2014.  The affected vehicles are equipped with certain 1100W, 1500W, or 2000W inverters sold as a standalone option with both the Thermo King TriPac EVOLUTION and TriPac\-e Auxiliary Power Units \("APU"\).
