2006–2010 Coach & Equipment Phoenix recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Coach and equipment is recalling certain model year 2006-2010 buses equipped with carrier genv EM-1 evaporator units. Due to time, temperature, and/or vibration, the fuse may loosen in the fuse holder resulting in high resistance and arcing.
💥 The risk
If sufficient arcing occurs, the fuse holder may melt, and may be accompanied by flame, smoke and potential fire.
🔧 The fix
Coach and equipment will notify owners and provide information on how to obtain the retrofit kit from carrier along with repair instructions. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on march 16, 2011. Owners may contact carrier hotline at 1-800-793-4741 or coach and equipment at 315-536-2321, extension 1212.
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.)
