Miller Enpak A60: Equipment recall

What's wrong

Miller Electric MFG. CO. (Miller) is recalling certain EnPak A60 Diesel Engine-Driven All-In-One Air Compressor/Generator/Battery Charger/Crank Assist/Hydraulic Pump/Welder (Model A60GB - Stock Numbers 907813, 907813001, Model A60GBH - Stock Numbers 907814, 907814001 and Model A60GBHW - Stock Numbers 907815, 907815001). All units are within the following serial number range NB290697R – NC080172R and were manufactured between July 16, 2021, and February 16, 2022. A bracket inside the EnPak All-In-One unit may have been installed with inadequate clearance, allowing the drive belt to contact other components, and potentially causing damage to the ground wire, battery cables, and fuel hoses. In addition, a lack of clearance between the output inductor and EnPak All-In-One frame may cause an electrical arc.

Why it matters

A damaged power cable or diesel fuel hose can cause an electrical short-circuit or fuel leak. Output inductor contact with the frame can cause an electrical arc. Any of these scenarios can increase the risk of a fire.

The fix

Dealers will inspect and replace the ground wire, battery cables, and fuel hoses, as necessary, and install a larger bracket. A new bracket will also be installed between the output inductor and frame. Repairs will be performed free of charge. Vehicle upfitters were notified February 28, 2022. Owner letters were mailed May 27, 2022. Owners may contact Miller customer service at 1-920-735-4505.
