2008–2010 Double K Mainstreet & 2008–2010 Hometown Trolley Villager recall: equipment

⚠️ What's wrong

Double k (dba hometown trolley) is recalling certain model year 2008 through 2010 Villager and Mainstreet buses manufactured from november 2008 though december 2010 and equipped with carrier genv EM-1 evaporator units, containing a delphi pack-con III fuse holder in an allied motion motor assembly. 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

Double k 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 manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. (see carrier's recall campaign 11E-003.) owners may contact carrier at 1-800-793-4741 or double k at 1-715-478-5090.

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.)
