2004 Diamond Coach C3500 recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain diesel buses built on ford E-350 and E-450 chassis and equipped with carrier vacuum pump brackets, the brackets could break.
💥 The risk
When the bracket breaks, the vacuum pump that provides the power to the power brakes becomes inoperative, increasing the risk of a crash. Also, the power steering could be affected if the belt gets into the other belts.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the brackets. The recall began on january 21, 2005. Owners should contact diamond coach at 1-620-795-2191.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
