IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
This notice applies to your EnPak A60GB, GBH, or GBHW
NHTSA Recall No. 22E-025
May 31, 2022
To: End users and all persons in possession of a Miller Electric Mfg. LLC (“Miller”) EnPak A60GB, GBH, and GBHW units.
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Miller has decided that a defect that relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain Miller EnPak A60GB, GBH, or GBHW product with a serial number listed below. You should stop using the product and contact the Miller distributor where the EnPak was purchased.
Miller has determined that during installation onto a work truck, the EnPak A60 Series can be installed in a manner that does not assure adequate clearance between the internal EnPak A60 Series drive pulley/belt and the installed ground wire, battery cables, and fuel line hoses, due to the size of the bracket and location of the wires, cables, and hoses. As a result, there is the possibility that contact between the drive pulley/belt and the ground wire, battery cables, and fuel line hoses can occur and cause friction damage to the ground wire, battery cables, and fuel line hoses. Additionally, the output inductor could possibly contact the frame, due to lack of clearance between the output inductor and frame.
If contact between the drive pulley/belt and ground wire or battery cables provided with the EnPak A60 Series occurs, the ground wire insulation or battery cable(s) insulation can be abraded, potentially causing shorting between the ground wire and battery cables or between the battery cables, which can lead to excessive electric current and a potential fire hazard. If contact between the drive pulley/belt and fuel line hoses provided and installed by the truck upfitter occurs, the fuel line hoses can be abraded, potentially causing a fuel leak.
If contact between the output inductor and the frame of the EnPak A60 Series occurs, there is a potential for an electric arc and/or an unintended path for electric current to flow. This creates a risk of fire and damage to the EnPak A60 Series and work truck. This can only occur while the EnPak A60 Series is operating and not while the work truck is traveling on a roadway.
US.350290928.01
ME-0811 09/06

Description of Defect :
Description of the Defect : There are two possible defects on the same vehicle equipment.
Belt Abrasion : During installation onto a work truck, the EnPak A60 Series can
be installed in a manner that does not assure adequate clearance between the
internal EnPak A60 Series drive pulley/belt and the installed ground wire,
battery cables, and fuel line hoses, due to the size of the bracket and location of
the wires, cables, and hoses. As a result, there is the possibility that contact
between the drive pulley/belt and the ground wire, battery cables, and fuel line
hoses can occur and cause friction damage to the ground wire, battery cables,
and fuel line hoses.
Output Inductor to Frame Contact : The EnPak A60 Series was manufactured in
a way that the output inductor could possibly contact the frame, due to lack of
clearance between the output inductor and frame.
FMVSS 1 : NR
FMVSS 2 : NR
Description of the Safety Risk : Belt Abrasion : If contact between the drive pulley/belt and ground wire or
battery cables provided with the EnPak A60 Series occurs, the ground wire
insulation or battery cable(s) insulation can be abraded, potentially causing
shorting between the ground wire and battery cables or between the battery
cables. This shorting can lead to excessive electric current and a potential fire
hazard. If contact between the drive pulley/belt and fuel line hoses provided
and installed by the truck upfitter occurs, the fuel line hoses can be abraded,
potentially causing a fuel leak. The potential for leaking fuel and shorting of
the ground wire or battery cables creates a risk of fire and damage to the
EnPak A60 Series and work truck.
Output Inductor to Frame Contact : If contact between the output inductor
and the frame of the EnPak A60 Series occurs, there is a potential for an
electric arc and/or an unintended path for electric current to flow. This
creates a risk of fire and damage to the EnPak A60 Series and work truck.
This can only occur while the EnPak A60 Series is operating and not while the
work truck is traveling on a roadway.
Description of the Cause : Belt Abrasion : During installation of the EnPak A60 Series onto the work truck,
the fuel line hoses are installed and routed with the ground wire and battery
cables near the drive pulley/belt. If the ground wire, battery cables, and fuel
line hoses are not adequately bundled and secured, they can contact the drive
belt/pulley. Abrasion of the ground wire, battery cables, and fuel line hoses can
occur during operation of the EnPak A60 Series.
Output Inductor to Frame Contact : The output inductor was manufactured in a
way that, due to lack of clearance between the output inductor coil and the
EnPak A60 Series frame, it could possibly cause the output inductor coil to
contact the EnPak A60 Series frame.

The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573
Identification of Any Warning
that can Occur :
There could potentially be no warning if the defect occurs while the EnPak A60
Series is operating. However, the EnPak A60 Series might not start if the
battery cables are damaged or might stall if the fuel line hoses are damaged.
Additionally, performance degradation of the EnPak A60 Series might be
noticed due to output inductor contact with the frame.

Chronology :
Belt Abrasion : Miller Electric was notified by a truck upfitter on January 25, 2022, that during installation of an
EnPak A60 Series onto a work truck, the ground wire and battery cables were abraded. The truck upfitter
determined that the ground wire and battery cables were contacting the drive pulley/belt. Miller Electric was
notified by a second truck upfitter of the same issue on January 26, 2022. On January 28, 2022, after further
investigation of EnPak A60 Series units in Miller Electric’s factory, Miller Electric confirmed that it is possible
for the ground wire or battery cables provided by Miller Electric, or fuel line hoses provided and installed by
the truck upfitter, to contact the drive pulley/belt. Due to Miller Electric’s initial investigation, no additional
EnPak A60 Series units were shipped after January 28, 2022. On February 3, 2022, Miller Electric examined an
EnPak A60 Series unit to begin developing a corrective action. Output Inductor to Frame Contact : During
Miller Electric end of line testing of the EnPak A60 Series on February 16, 2022, a production unit did not pass
the dielectric strength test. Miller Electric evaluated the production unit and determined that the output
inductor coil was contacting the EnPak A60 Series frame. After further inspection, Miller Electric noticed that
the output inductor coil was contacting the EnPak A60 Series frame on multiple production units. On February
17, 2022, it was determined that the output inductor was manufactured in a way that it could possibly cause
the output inductor coil to contact the EnPak A60 Series frame.
Both Issues: On February 17, 2022, the corrective actions for both were reviewed and finalized, and Miller
Electric determined that corrective actions should be performed on all 296 EnPak A60 Series units that had
been delivered to truck upfitters. On 2/21/22, product recall letters were finalized. Important Product Safety
Warning letters were sent to distributors on 2/28/22.

Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : Belt Abrasion : The corrective action/remedy has been documented as
Miller Electric Service Memo 1286 and Field Instruction F290964. The
corrective action is to (a) visually inspect the ground wire, battery cables
and fuel line hoses for damage and replace if they are damaged, and (b)
replace the applicable bracket with a larger bracket supplied by Miller
Electric. Instructions are provided to reroute the ground wire, battery
cables, and fuel line hoses under a larger replacement bracket, which
prevents the ground wire, battery cables, and fuel line hoses from
contacting the drive pulley/belt, and to discard the original bracket.
Output Inductor to Frame Contact : The corrective action/remedy has
been documented as Miller Electric Service Memo 1287 and Field
Instruction F291875. The corrective action is to follow the Field
Instructions to remove and discard the original frame bracket and install
the provided replacement bracket that has a cutout, which provides
adequate clearance between the output inductor coil and the EnPak A60
Series frame.
All repairs will be completed by an Authorized Miller Electric Service
Distributor free of charge, and Miller Electric will reimburse for the
components and labor. Miller Electric estimates that all repairs will be
completed within seven (7) days after notice is provided to Miller Electric,
and that replacement will take approximately 2.5 hours. Please contact
your authorized EnPak distributor or service station with any additional
questions. If you need further assistance, please contact Miller Electric
Mfg. LLC at 920-735-4505 or email [email protected].
How Remedy Component Differs
from Recalled Component :
Belt Abrasion : The remedy will be rerouting the ground wire, battery
cables, and fuel line hoses under a larger replacement bracket, which
prevents contact with the drive belt/pulley.
Output Inductor to Frame Contact : The remedy component is a bracket
with a cutout versus the recalled component with no cutout. The remedy
component provides adequate clearance between the output inductor coil
and the EnPak A60 Series frame.
Identify How/When Recall Condition
was Corrected in Production :
Replacement brackets to address both the belt abrasion and output
inductor to frame contact have been installed on all affected EnPak A60
Series units in production and inventory beginning February 17, 2022.
Training has been provided to employees performing EnPak A60 Series
assembly.

The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573
Description of Defect :
Description of the Defect : There are two possible defects on the same vehicle equipment.
Belt Abrasion : During installation onto a work truck, the EnPak A60 Series can
be installed in a manner that does not assure adequate clearance between the
internal EnPak A60 Series drive pulley/belt and the installed ground wire,
battery cables, and fuel line hoses, due to the size of the bracket and location of
the wires, cables, and hoses. As a result, there is the possibility that contact
between the drive pulley/belt and the ground wire, battery cables, and fuel line
hoses can occur and cause friction damage to the ground wire, battery cables,
and fuel line hoses.
Output Inductor to Frame Contact : The EnPak A60 Series was manufactured in
a way that the output inductor could possibly contact the frame, due to lack of
clearance between the output inductor and frame.
FMVSS 1 : NR
FMVSS 2 : NR
Description of the Safety Risk : Belt Abrasion : If contact between the drive pulley/belt and ground wire or
battery cables provided with the EnPak A60 Series occurs, the ground wire
insulation or battery cable(s) insulation can be abraded, potentially causing
shorting between the ground wire and battery cables or between the battery
cables. This shorting can lead to excessive electric current and a potential fire
hazard. If contact between the drive pulley/belt and fuel line hoses provided
and installed by the truck upfitter occurs, the fuel line hoses can be abraded,
potentially causing a fuel leak. The potential for leaking fuel and shorting of
the ground wire or battery cables creates a risk of fire and damage to the
EnPak A60 Series and work truck.
Output Inductor to Frame Contact : If contact between the output inductor
and the frame of the EnPak A60 Series occurs, there is a potential for an
electric arc and/or an unintended path for electric current to flow. This
creates a risk of fire and damage to the EnPak A60 Series and work truck.
This can only occur while the EnPak A60 Series is operating and not while the
work truck is traveling on a roadway.
Description of the Cause : Belt Abrasion : During installation of the EnPak A60 Series onto the work truck,
the fuel line hoses are installed and routed with the ground wire and battery
cables near the drive pulley/belt. If the ground wire, battery cables, and fuel
line hoses are not adequately bundled and secured, they can contact the drive
belt/pulley. Abrasion of the ground wire, battery cables, and fuel line hoses can
occur during operation of the EnPak A60 Series.
Output Inductor to Frame Contact : The output inductor was manufactured in a
way that, due to lack of clearance between the output inductor coil and the
EnPak A60 Series frame, it could possibly cause the output inductor coil to
contact the EnPak A60 Series frame.

Identification of Any Warning
that can Occur :
There could potentially be no warning if the defect occurs while the EnPak A60
Series is operating. However, the EnPak A60 Series might not start if the
battery cables are damaged or might stall if the fuel line hoses are damaged.
Additionally, performance degradation of the EnPak A60 Series might be
noticed due to output inductor contact with the frame.

Component Manufacturer
Name : Miller Electric Mfg LLC
Address : 1635 West Spencer Street
Appleton Wisconsin 54912
Country : United States
Chronology :
Belt Abrasion : Miller Electric was notified by a truck upfitter on January 25, 2022, that during installation of an
EnPak A60 Series onto a work truck, the ground wire and battery cables were abraded. The truck upfitter
determined that the ground wire and battery cables were contacting the drive pulley/belt. Miller Electric was
notified by a second truck upfitter of the same issue on January 26, 2022. On January 28, 2022, after further
investigation of EnPak A60 Series units in Miller Electric’s factory, Miller Electric confirmed that it is possible
for the ground wire or battery cables provided by Miller Electric, or fuel line hoses provided and installed by
the truck upfitter, to contact the drive pulley/belt. Due to Miller Electric’s initial investigation, no additional
EnPak A60 Series units were shipped after January 28, 2022. On February 3, 2022, Miller Electric examined an
EnPak A60 Series unit to begin developing a corrective action. Output Inductor to Frame Contact : During
Miller Electric end of line testing of the EnPak A60 Series on February 16, 2022, a production unit did not pass
the dielectric strength test. Miller Electric evaluated the production unit and determined that the output
inductor coil was contacting the EnPak A60 Series frame. After further inspection, Miller Electric noticed that
the output inductor coil was contacting the EnPak A60 Series frame on multiple production units. On February
17, 2022, it was determined that the output inductor was manufactured in a way that it could possibly cause
the output inductor coil to contact the EnPak A60 Series frame.
Both Issues: On February 17, 2022, the corrective actions for both were reviewed and finalized, and Miller
Electric determined that corrective actions should be performed on all 296 EnPak A60 Series units that had
been delivered to truck upfitters. On 2/21/22, product recall letters were finalized. Important Product Safety
Warning letters were sent to distributors on 2/28/22.

Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : Belt Abrasion : The corrective action/remedy has been documented as
Miller Electric Service Memo 1286 and Field Instruction F290964. The
corrective action is to (a) visually inspect the ground wire, battery cables
and fuel line hoses for damage and replace if they are damaged, and (b)
replace the applicable bracket with a larger bracket supplied by Miller
Electric. Instructions are provided to reroute the ground wire, battery
cables, and fuel line hoses under a larger replacement bracket, which
prevents the ground wire, battery cables, and fuel line hoses from
contacting the drive pulley/belt, and to discard the original bracket.
Output Inductor to Frame Contact : The corrective action/remedy has
been documented as Miller Electric Service Memo 1287 and Field
Instruction F291875. The corrective action is to follow the Field
Instructions to remove and discard the original frame bracket and install
the provided replacement bracket that has a cutout, which provides
adequate clearance between the output inductor coil and the EnPak A60
Series frame.
How Remedy Component Differs
from Recalled Component :
Belt Abrasion : The remedy will be rerouting the ground wire, battery
cables, and fuel line hoses under a larger replacement bracket, which
prevents contact with the drive belt/pulley.
Output Inductor to Frame Contact : The remedy component is a bracket
with a cutout versus the recalled component with no cutout. The remedy
component provides adequate clearance between the output inductor coil
and the EnPak A60 Series frame.
Identify How/When Recall Condition
was Corrected in Production :
Replacement brackets to address both the belt abrasion and output
inductor to frame contact have been installed on all affected EnPak A60
Series units in production and inventory beginning February 17, 2022.
Training has been provided to employees performing EnPak A60 Series
assembly.
Recall Schedule :
Description of Recall Schedule : All affected distributors (truck upfitters) were notified in writing through
provision of Important Product Safety Warning letters on February 28,
2022. In addition, all affected distributors (truck upfitters) were notified
by telephone as of March 11, 2022. In addition, Miller Electric will submit
to NHTSA, for its review, additional notices to each affected distributor
(truck upfitters) as well as notices to end users.
