2007–2009 Champion International High Floor & 2007–2008 Champion Defender + 3 more recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Champion is recalling 68 my 2007-2009 transit buses. The fasteners that are used to hold electrical connectors in place on the roof mounted air conditioner control panel may not be tightened down to the proper torque and/or there may be a possible frayed wire at the connection point.
💥 The risk
If these connections are loose, it could result in overheating and cause a fire.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect the fasteners on the electrical control board and tighten them to the proper torque value if they are found to be loose. The recall began on july 1, 2008. Owners may contact champion bus at 1-810-724-1735.
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.)
