2004 Coach And Equipment Phoenix recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain diesel buses built on ford e-series chassis and equipped with carrier air conditioning, the mounting bracket welds CAN break or fall off.
💥 The risk
If the weld breaks or falls off, the vacuum pump could shift causing the misalignment and eventually lose the drive belt which could lead to the loss of the primary braking system, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
🔧 The fix
Carrier is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Carrier will inspect the welds for cracking and re-weld as necessary, free of charge. Owners may contact carrier service department at 1-800-450-2211.
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.)
