Hodyon, maker of the Dynasys auxiliary power units, announced this week on its website that it has “determined a potential safety risk” with all Dynasys APU models and is asking Dynasys owners to discontinue use. The company says it is in the process of “detailing a technical repair process and instructions,” and plans to have an update by Saturday, Jan. 19.

Dynasys says that any questions should be directed toward its customer service line — (800) 289-8282. The announcement is currently listed on Hodyon’s website homepage — hodyon.com.

David Hancock, executive vice president of business units for the company, also has released the one-minute video below as a personal apology to Dynasys customers:

    I have to wonder how cost effective these APU’s are? I had to gice a driver a jump the other day because his APU quit and his batteries ran down. I get more negative feedback on them as they get a couple years on them. I am not sure how well they hold up. But from my limited experience talking to drivers with them and this story. I have to question how much they save us?

    if they were sincerely sorry about this situation they would either refund all purchase & installation costs or pay for motel rooms until the problem is rectified.
