⚠️ What's wrong
Tiffany coachworks is recalling 26 my 2008 E-450 limo bus and shuttle bus vehicles manufactured between march and november 2008, equipped with K410 air conditioning condenser assemblies supplied by carrier. The K410 unit is installed on the top of the vehicle and its cover may not be properly fastened because of a mechanical interference.
💥 The risk
If the cover fasteners fail to securely fasten the cover in place, it may become detached during bus operation, possibly causing a crash or cause injury to pedestrians.

Tiffany coachworks will notify owners and carrier will provide a free retrofit repair kit to remedy the issue. The safety recall began on july 29, 2009. Owners may contact carrier at 1-800-673-2431 or tiffany coachworks at 1-800-338-5872.
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.)
